Who made me? I’m pink; I’m a small bowl all crimped and pretty; my base rim is ground and my pattern name is Georgian. Isn’t this pretty? Such a luscious color of pink and just the right amount of ruffles. Sadly, it is a mystery piece. I don’t know who made it. Both Cambridge and [...]

I’ve shown Rose Point pretties before on Fancy Friday but this one takes the cake. Cambridge called it a bon bon; I call it special! So… it’s a pretty piece, but what would you do with it? It’s small enough to fit on a shelf and make you smile every time you see it. And [...]

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 [...]

If you read this blog you’ve seen our tag line “Shopping with us is like antiquing with your best friend”. That’s kind of a gutsy statement to make when you don’t know me, we’ll probably never meet and you’re shopping online. There are three reasons I say this: I love glass too. You will see [...]

Welcome to Fancy Friday! How is this for fancy? It’s an etched plate just perfect for dessert or lunch. You could serve strawberry pie on this and enjoy the rich red berries on sparkling crystal. Dessert plates are perfect when you want something a little dressier than you use for dinner. You can dress up [...]
