Helmschmied. In 1904 he started a corporation known as the Helmschmied Manufacturing Company. His factory closed in 1908 and he worked on his own until his death in 1934. Information courtesy of Kovel's Price Guide. </STRONG></FONT></P> <P><FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" font color="AAFFCO" size=4><STRONG> My client has a clipping from the March 1977 Hobbies - The Magazine For Collectors. It is an advertisement for an antique shop that specialized in American decorated glass and lamps. Included is a photo of a Belle Ware Humidor, pink roses on yellow to brown background. Elaborate Art Nouveau metal top 6" high.</STRONG></FONT></P> <P><FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" font color="AAFFCO" size=4><STRONG>This humidor is 6 1/4" high to the top of the lid and almost identical to the one in the photo. The background is yellow shading to brown with an open pink and white roses on the front. It also has two beautiful buds.</STRONG></FONT></P> <P><FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" font color="AAFFCO" size=4><STRONG>The lid is classic Art Nouveau with flowers and swirls, all done in relief work. Absolutely gorgeous! </STRONG></FONT></P> <P><FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" font color="AAFFCO" size=4><STRONG>The glass is referred to as Opal Ware. It does have some minor roughness around the opening which is not surprising since the lid fits quite snuggly and must be fairly air tight because the inside of the lid is bright and shiny, like new! </STRONG></FONT></P> <P><FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" color=#AAFFCO size=4><STRONG>Belle Ware seems to be rather rare as I couldn't find but a very few pieces and little information using a Google search. </STRONG></FONT></P> <P><FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" color=#AAFFCO size=4><STRONG>Don't let this opportunity pass you by, you may not be able to find another one for years!</STRONG></FONT></P> <P><FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" color=#AAFFCO size=4><STRONG></STRONG></FONT></P> <P><FONT face="Microsoft Sans Serif" color=#AAFFCO size=4><STRONG>Please check <a href="http://www.seeauctions.com/shops/nolav/">our store</a> as we have a wide range of very good and some rare antiques and collectibles.
