DOUGLASS, KAN.- Woody Auction plans to finish 2025 with a flourish – their final in-person auction of the year, planned for Saturday, December 6th, one packed with over 300 quality lots showcasing timeless craftsmanship and beauty. Everything will be sold without reserves, in the Woody auction hall located at 130 East Third Street in Douglass starting at 9:30am Central Time.

It’s a can’t-miss Antique Auction. The highlights include Charles Schneider French art glass, Meissen porcelain, Moser glass, brides baskets, Royal Bayreuth, cut glass, fine pottery and more. In addition to the auction hall, online bidding will be through LiveAuctioneers.com. Phone and absentee bids will also be available. It’s the final event of the year for the auction powerhouse.

Three outstanding items will be vying for top lot honors. The first is a magnificent Victorian figural brides basket with a cranberry art glass bowl decorated with coralene butterfly and floral décor with gold stencil highlights, set on a Wilcox #14 silverplate frame featuring a cherub pulling a chariot with fruit and acorns. It’s a wonderful example that should fetch $1,500-$3,000.



The second is a Charles Schneider French cameo art glass vase signed La Verre Français and marked Charder, having pink, yellow and white mottled ground with amethyst and orange cameo cut back daturas (angel’s trumpets) overlay. The vase has a pre-sale estimate of $2,000-$3,000.



The third is a circa 1910 exceptional double-light gilded bronze wall sconce by Duffner & Kimberly, electrified, with the original 6 inch by 5 ½ inch Duffner & Kimberly yellow opalescent and amber shades. The 14-inch-tall, must-see sconce should bring $1,500-$3,000.

A Charles Schneider French cameo art glass vase signed Le Verre Français in the Grapevine design, having an orange and yellow mottled ground with lavender cameo cutback overlay, has an estimate of $1,000-$1,750; while a nice 7-piece American Brilliant Cut Glass ice cream set in the Dauntless pattern by Bergen, one tray and six 7-inch plates, should gavel for $750-$1,500.



A figural group marked Meissen with the blue crossed swords, incised #2697, featuring Europa, the mythical figure from Greek mythology, depicted sitting on a bull with two maidens, is expected to gavel for $1,000-$1,500. Also, a two-part American Brilliant Cut Glass punch bowl with five alternating sections of hobstar, vesica and crossed prisms, should reach $600-$1,200.



An art glass dresser box marked Nakara, crown mold, having green and pink tones with a pink rose décor, a great example and with the original lining, carries an estimate of $600-$800.



An American Brilliant Cut Glass two-light, electrified table lamp by Pairpoint in the Estelle pattern, boasting a mushroom shade (but with one prism missing), should go to a determined bidder for $600-$1,200; while a Gone With the Wind table lamp in a rare apricot satin color and in the Imperial pattern by Consolidated, is expected to illuminate the room for $500-$1,000.
