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 [...]

Today is one of my favorite pieces from our store, our Sylvan crystal two-piece candy dish from Duncan Miller. Duncan Miller made Sylvan swans and other nature shapes before they closed down in 1955. This leaf shaped dish is rare and you won’t find another one. The grooves look like leaf veins and the little [...]

Don’t you wonder how glass companies came up with the pattern names they used? Some are obvious, like Miss America or Queen Mary. Some match the pattern with the name. Think of Block Optic. Or Adam’s Rib, like this pink candy jar. Diamond Glass made Adam’s Rib in the late 1920s in a rainbow of [...]

What’s your fancy this week? How about a Duncan Miller crystal swan candy dish? Duncan Miller made swans for candy, swans for flowers, crystal swans, colored swans, big swans, little swans and swans in the middle. These were partially handmade. Duncan’s glass workers molded the body, attached the head and neck by hand, tooled the [...]

This week I’m finally listing some of our best glass, the Sharon pink depression glass collection. We bought this set from a lady who was selling off her glass before moving and I’m so glad we were able to get it. Her glass is wonderful. Take this Sharon candy jar. Vintage candy jars get nicked [...]

This week our Pink Saturday shows another less-well known pink depression glass pattern, Old Cafe from Hocking Glass. I really like this wide candy dish — it is perfect for after dinner mints. Glass makers had fun with candy dishes and jars and they are fun to collect now. You can find flattish dishes like [...]

Mother’s Day is May 9. It is always the second Sunday in May. As a mom the gift I want the most is time. Time with my children or time to myself to laze in the sun. If you are able to spend time with your mom this year that will be the best gift [...]

This is the last post in the candy dish series. This piece is a little different. It isn’t called a candy dish, although that’s how you would use it; it is called a nappy. I know, a nappy sounds like baby diapers, but the term means a bowl. Fostoria called many of their smaller bowls [...]

Isn’t this a gorgeous dish? It looks just like a leaf with the stem curled up to form the handle. This Sylvan is from Duncan Miller Glass, who had the slogan “Loveliest Glassware in America”. You can see how true this slogan was by the pure clarity of this glass. Unfortunately Duncan Miller went out [...]
