You can see the recipe for mimosas at the end of this post. Glass companies made juice glasses in their popular patterns, [...]

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. I thought it would be helpful to have a good photo identification guide online that showed all [...]

Today’s a retrospective of three tables using American Sweetheart soft white depression glass. American Sweetheart is exquisite, lots of scrolls and swags, scalloped rims and the most glorious pure thin white glass. Which table do you like better?

If you’re a frequent reader you have seen several tablescape posts lately that mixed and matched glass. In fact you’ve seen these two patterns of glass – Swirl and Lido – before but not quite this combination. I saved the best for last!

Since most of us don’t have complete sets of vintage glass patterns, it is real to life. Today we’re using three patterns that play well together. [...]

This week we’re back to the birds, Persian Pheasants etched stemware from Tiffin Glass. Just about every glass company made an etch with pheasants or peacocks. This one has a pair of birds facing each other on a big urn overflowing with flowers. What make this one fancy? It’s a cocktail stem. You can imagine [...]
