10 - 16 November 2025

Thank you very much for your support and interest in our Winter Silent Auction. 
Submit your bid online through the website, in the gallery, by email or phone, stating the lot number and your bid value.

Preferential Bidding

If you are tempted to bid on multiple pieces, but you don’t have the budget to win them all, simply let us know that you’d like to do ‘preferential bidding’ and we’ll enter your bids one at a time, in order of your preference.

Deadline for Bidding

The deadline for bidding is 23:59 GMT on Sunday 16 November.

How it Works

If you haven’t experienced any of our auctions before, here's a quick overview:

Each Auction Lot has a Gallery Price (to guide you) and a Reserve Price (the minimum amount you may bid - this is a discounted gallery price).
The value of the current highest bid is not publicised – that’s why it is ‘silent’!

Winners & Shipping / Collection 

Winners will be contacted from Tuesday 18 November. Payment can be made as soon as you’re contacted and shipping will be carried out over a two/three week period once payment has been made. You can also collect the work from the gallery and we have a car park if you'd like to drive - let us know and we will give instructions on how to get here!

All shipping in the UK will be limited to £15-£20 for smaller pieces & £25 for medium - large work, with the exception of multiple purchases.

Happy Bidding! 

Full Terms and Conditions:
Once a bid is made, it is considered a written contract between the bidder and London Glassblowing to purchase the named work at the stated bid, if this is the highest bid received for the Lot.

Payment of winning bids is due within five working days by credit/debit card over the phone or bank transfer. If we have been unable to collect payment after this time, then the Lot will be offered to the next highest bidder.

In the event of a tied bid, both bidders will be contacted and given the opportunity to raise their bid.

You may submit as many bids as you like, including more than one bid for each Lot, if you decide to raise your bid.

If you wish to collect the work from London Glassblowing our standard opening hours are Tuesday - Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday 11am-5pm. Parking in our car park for collection can be arranged by email or by phone.

International shipping costs will be payable - please contact us if you would like a quote in advance of placing a bid.

London Glassblowing will collate all bids, and the winning bidders will be contacted from Tuesday 18 November. Please ensure that you can be reached on the contact number you provide.
