I know what you’re thinking. Huh? What’s this little pink dish? This is Twist from Heisey, one of their classic molded designs from the depression era that they made in colored glass and crystal.

Poppies were an important motif in the 1920s and into the 1930s. Think of Cambridge Gloria, Hazel Atlas Florentine, Fostoria Rogene. Poppies were a symbol of the first world war because they grew wild all over the Flemish fields that were battlegrounds and cemeteries in the war and were immortalized in poems like In Flanders [...]

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 [...]

The exotic looking drink always intrigued me with its luscious color and nutmeg sprinkle on top. Every time I see vintage cocktail stems they remind me of Brandy Alexanders.

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 [...]

Sometimes it’s hard to know what glass you have. Fostoria marked very few of their pieces so unless you recognize the shape or the cutting or the etch it’s going to be difficult to identify the glass pattern.
