Does Doric & Pansy Ultramarine Glass Glow under Black Light? Today Debbie contacted me through my store to ask whether Doric & Pansy ultra marine / teal glass glowed under black light. That was a good question and I didn’t know the answer. Time to get out the black light. Oops, no batteries. Found the [...]

Bouillon cups aren’t for everyone. On the other hand, the days are long gone when you needed a hired girl in the kitchen, two maids and a cook to have something pretty on your table. Back in the day when in-home help was more common families had special dishes for special foods. They had cream [...]

Today we’re going to take our simple soup and sandwiches for lunch and turn it into something special by using Versailles blue glass soup bowls and cut crystal plates. Doesn’t that sound pretty? And more fun than soup in a mug and sandwiches on the first plate you find in the cupboard? I like mixing [...]

Here is a mystery piece. It’s a mystery because the pattern looks and feels like Fostoria’s Fairfax depression era glass. But every other piece of Fairfax blue glass I ever had was this lighter blue. Very pretty, but you’ll agree it’s a different color. Could this be something else? Maybe Fostoria’s Lafayette, which had a [...]

Is blue your favorite color? If it is you know that it is not all that common in glass, especially beautiful etched glassware like this bouillon bowl from Fostoria. I like this shade better than cobalt blue and it looks grand with the etching and clear handles. Fostoria Glass made Versailles from 1928 to 1944 [...]

Now that’s BLUE. You’re looking at a blue depression glass creamer in the Aurora pattern from Hazel Atlas. This is one of the few patterns that made in this vibrant cobalt blue during the depression years of the 1930s. If you like cobalt blue transparent glass then look for patterns from Hazel Atlas including Moderntone, [...]
