Greek Key, Needle Etch

Needle Etch with Greek Key (2)Yesterday I was kicking around my house.  I had choices.  A)  Clean stuff or  B)  Iron stuff or C)  Launder stuff or D) Go look for glass you don’t need.   I guess it’s not too much of a stretch for anyone to guess which option I chose.

I was going to go to Orono, but then I remembered that I hadn’t checked out the Pickering Antique Market even though I work within 8 kilometers of the Market.

So off I rambled.  It was worth the trip.  Although I didn’t buy much (still got a few things) it was worth the look.  I found a piece I have been wanting (I’ll show and tell in a couple days) and also found these glasses, although they were in the Flea Market section.

Needle Etch with Greek KeyPretty needle etch stems with the Greek Key detailing.  Didn’t need them, won’t be able to sell them, won’t use them – so of course I had to buy them!

Beautiful sound to them.  Nice thin, very pretty glass.  I’ll never ID them – but oh well, they will display beautifully.

Animals in Glass, Chicken, Egg Cup

Chicken Egg cupI have no idea why I picked these up (I had two, my son now has one of them).  Probably because they were cute and only $0.25 cents.  I don’t even eat poached eggs!

It is marked “FRANCE” on the bottom.  This is a common piece.  Lots online.  Saw some identified as “Luminarc”.  That’s as good a guess as anything else!  I think this little guy will head back to the thrift shop.

Yippie – Vacation Tomorrow!

With the sound of rain beating against my window, and likely pounding down the height of the snow drifts, I am please to be dreaming of a trip to the sunny south for a wedding.

Off to Cuba again – lucky girl am I.  Travelling with my son and that will be fun to see him up close for a bit.  A very little bit, if he has anything to do with it

Likely no glass to see there, but I am bidding on a few pieces online.  So it will be a surprise if I win them, when I get home.

Ciao.
