Here’s a true original in American made glassware, Square from Cambridge Glass. Square was one of the last patterns that Cambridge introduce before going out of business in the 1950s and it is different from any of their earlier designs. You can see the distinctive square foot – it is nearly a cube – that [...]

Today it’s time for a pop quiz. Here are three pieces of etched crystal, all made about the same time period, and all featuring roses, swags and center medallions in their design. Can you identify them? No fair looking at the captions first! Our first contestant is a candy dish with lid. Our second contestant [...]

If you’re like me you wonder why glass companies would have sold special pieces just for iced tea. Do people drink enough iced tea to warrant a special stem?

Rose Point is special to me. My mom and dad got a few pieces for wedding gifts but didn’t have enough to use and this sat in their buffet cupboard for many years. When I started working with glass in 1999 I found their pieces and was so surprised they had such pretty glass they [...]

This light pink amethyst color is called Heatherbloom and what makes this so interesting is that the glass changes color slightly under different lighting. With normal light it is a lovely rose amethyst orchid color like the picture. Under fluorescent light it is more lavender [...]

Recently Esmeralda R contacted me for help identifying her glass. She found my Cambridge Rose Point etched stemware on the 3121 blank, which has the three knobs you see in this photo and is distinctive. She sent me one photo and I was able to identify the cutting as Achilles by Cambridge. This is nice [...]

Isn’t this a gorgeous bowl? It has a rolled rim that flips up at the ends and four tab feet, quite a nice, unusual shape. To top it off, the etch is big urns surrounded by paisley shaped swags and scrolls that repeat around the rim. Console bowls with rolled rims are great to show [...]

Isn’t this a pretty etch? It has flower baskets alternating with tassels all connected by generous swags and an intricate border above. For some reason Cambridge Glass didn’t have a pattern name for this, which is a shame as it is one of their more notable etchings. We are showing the water goblet [...]
