I always liked looking at it.
When they passed away, my brothers and I divided up the treasures and this was the only thing I wanted.
I just love it.
APPRAISER: I have to tell you how excited I am to be here with you, and it, today.
It's not for such a tremendous value.
It's because it is such a fantastic object.
It's such a, a great way of displaying what was happening at the time.
The ebullience-- and the sexiness-- of post-World War II, mostly America.
This was made in Italy, but it was made for, if not by, the Raymor Company.
The company was incorporated as Russel Wright in the '30s, but it really became Raymor in 1941, and it went all the way until 1980.
GUEST: Hm.
APPRAISER: They produced this fabulous, very thick wall hanging plaque that really describes things to do with a cocktail culture.
They have made these Venn diagrams of bottles on top of each other.
We have a martini glass here.
The way the piece is glazed is with this very thick, mostly sort of Persian blue crackle glaze.
These are carved in so you have more room to put in the different colors of vitrified glaze.
All glaze is glass, or turns to glass, but this is a lot of it.
So you have here, in English, "Italy," meaning that this is made most likely for the export market.
And this is the telltale sign for Raymor.
And their tagline was, "Modern in the tradition of good taste."
I love that.
This is just a really cool piece.
GUEST: (chuckles) APPRAISER: A pre-auction estimate would probably be $2,000 to $3,000.
And it could bring so much more than that, because so many people would be bidding on it.
GUEST: I-I'm sure there's not many that are larger because the weight of it is incredible.
APPRAISER: Correct.
