I got these at an estate sale because they are just the neatest pieces. I love the idea of using a tumbler with a handle for lemonade in the summer – no more wet glasses slipping out of your hand. This basket etch is especially nice. I showed Heisey Dutchess etched sherbets with basket motif [...]

What is this you ask? It’s too small for a relish tray but it’s obviously something. Welcome to the world of fancy glass. This little piece is the Canterbury crystal four-part condiment set from Duncan Miller. I like Canterbury. Duncan Miller crystal is beautifully clear, gorgeous quality. the pattern is simple with plates, bowls, stemware [...]

Most of the glass I buy comes from people downsizing or who inherited pieces but don’t care to own it themselves. The set of Duncan Miller Sandwich glass is a little different. A local collector used this set for her good dishes for years then decided to replace with a different pattern. She would only sell the [...]

Here’s a mystery for you. Why would a glass company call a pattern “Secretaries Primrose”? This etched goblet is line 800 from Monongah Glass, and yes, the pattern name is Secretaries Primrose. I’ve no idea why the name. Monongah is long out of business so this will remain a mystery. Monongah is best known for [...]

The Art Deco period was waning during the last years of the Roaring 20s. Just as today, styles trickled down to mass produced consumer goods after the style setting jet set (or their equivalent) had already moved on. This green depression glass cream pitcher is Tea Room from Indiana Glass and dates to 1926 to [...]

A few weeks ago Bill, of Affordable Accoutrements, posted a joyous tablescape that used restaurant china made in the 1920s. The china was cream with russet griffins, scrolls and swags. Do you think the griffins were looking for their mates in these tumblers? I tilted the glass a bit so you could see the pattern. [...]

Some of you still have summer but fall is in the air here in mid-Michigan. Nights are cold and the tree tips are turning. Let’s enjoy a last gasp of summer with fuchsia flowers dancing on crystal. Tiffin’s Fuchsia etch is one of the most detailed flower patterns – you can tell right away this [...]

This elegant crystal cup and saucer is Candlewick from Imperial Glass. Candlewick was Imperial’s mainstay for years and was issued in several lines, each a slightly different shape. The beaded rims or handles were the common thread among the myriad pieces. You may have a piece or two of this pattern even without realizing it [...]

Last week I showed one of my most interesting center handled servers, my Imperial ebony black one with heart-shaped handle. This week let’s see another unusual one, my luscious Paden City green cupped server with art deco decoration. I found this at an estate sale and couldn’t resist. I identified it as by Paden City [...]

Every once in a while I will find glass listed as Candlewick that is anything but. When I started in business my first purchase was a set of Candlewick plates and tumblers – I bought it because I remembered the beaded design. Imperial Glass made Candlewick for a very long time and it’s their best [...]
