Needle Etch, Sherbert

Bryce  Sherberts (4)I have these stems in the sherberts, and in a water goblet.  I’ll have to find the goblet image.

For the longest time I though that they were pieces of Bryce.  Recently I realized that the piece of paper on which I had written a Bryce blank line and the etch line, and carefully taped to one of the glasses, actually belonged to another stem!

The blank of the water goblet resembles a piece that I have often thought belonged to Fry.  Ballerina leg, medium-wide optic, DE 107 (on the other piece), or a lookalike.

The etch on these pieces has interesting details but lacks the attractiveness of what I consider more ‘polished’ patterns.  No pun, if there IS one, intended.

Bryce 355, Etch 321 (3)

In any event, obviously I don’t know anything about the pieces.  I think I have had them for a long time.  Maybe it is time to do some research.  But….my feeling is that they will remain a mystery.

Beaded Grape, Milk glass, Milkglass, Vase, Westmoreland

Westmoreland vase (4)Sometimes I forget that I have hard copy glass references.  I was busily searching for the name of this pattern online, with no luck, when I had an aha moment.  Aha! I have a Westmoreland reference book.  Lo and behold there was my vase in living black and white.

This vase combines the grape details of Westmoreland’s popular Panel and Grape pattern (line 1881) and the beaded edge of the Beaded Edge (line 22) pattern. You can see the one edge in the photo.

It was likely manufactured in the 1950s or 1960s.

Pieces also came with coloured decorations.  I’ve not knowingly observed one in the flesh, but from the photos I have seen, I actually prefer the unpainted pieces like this one.

Needle Etch, Plate Etched

Unknown stem 1This photo was sent to me by Rachel.  She wondered if I could identify it.  I have had no luck.  I have posted it elsewhere and so far no one else has identified it.  I also posted it in Google Images to no avail.

The etching around the rim reminded me of the etching around the piece of Baccarat’s Lafayette that I once had.  I looked through Replacement’s etched Baccarat, but no results there either.

If anyone recognizes this etch and/or the producer of the blank, I am sure Rachel would be grateful.
