Dancing Nymph or “Dance of the Nudes” is another Consolidated Glass Company pattern that is highly collected in the antique glass market. Made for only five years there is not enough to fill collector demand. This has raised prices for almost any piece in any color. Like other Consolidated patterns like Catalonian and Ruba Rombic Dancing Nymph is getting harder to find.
Catalonian is another Consolidated pattern that is very unusual. Made from the 1920’s until the 1940’s Catalonian was a handmade glass pattern. While not as unusual and longer lived than Ruba Rombic Catalonian features very unique ridges and ripples. As they are hand made each piece will have a pontil mark. Made in a multitude of colors Catalonian commands very high prices on the collector market.

Designed in 1927 by Reuben Haley for the Consolidated Lamp and Glass company, Ruba Rombic is an icon of the Art Deco movement. It’s production was very short due to the Great Depression that soon followed it’s release. As it’s name implies it’s unusual look consists of irregular geometric shapes. It has been estimated that only several thousand pieces survive today. It’s extremely high prices accurately reflect it’s rarity. It is now being bought up by major museums and high end Art Deco collectors. Today Ruba Rombic is probably the most expensive elegant glass pattern there is.
It came in a few color “styles” Smokey Topaz, Jungle Greem, and Sunshine Yellow. Cased colors of white applied to the inside of the glass as well as a French (silver) crystal over glaze.
Reuben Haley also designed a pottery line in the Ruba Rombic style. The Muncie Pottery Company produced it in 1929.
