Last update – October 4, 2012

Still updating my Indiana Glass.  I have found out, from Ms. Adler, that this pattern is also called Flower and Leaf Band.  It was introduced in 1933 in the off white French Ivory and reissued in the ’50s in white milkglass.  It was then called Orange Blossom.  It is Indiana’s pattern 239.

From May 4, 2012

My lovely, now 28 year old, daughter bought me a copy of Warman’s Depression Glass Field Guide – 3rd edition.  I don’t ordinarily seek out pieces of Depression glass, but upon leafing through the book I was taken with these pieces and decided to order them.  Got them on ebay.  They didn’t disappoint.

This is what the guide has to say – “Manufactured by Indiana Glass Company, Dunkirk, Indiana, in the 1930s and in the 1950s.  Made in custard colour, known as French Ivory.”  The colour is very subtle and I hope it can be picked up in the photo.

There are a number of other pieces.  By the value in the guide, it looks like the sherberts must be the rarest.  They seem to be worth the most.  I think I will be happy with just these pieces to add to my sugar/creamer collection.  But….if I came across them at a good price……..never say never!

Archie Bunker and an Unknown Etch

Cordials, Needle Etch

Unknown Swag Etch (2)I am not ashamed, abashed or reluctant to state that I am 57 years old.  I like my age and the alleged wisdom and maturity that is supposed to come with age.  I can’t swear to this wisdom and maturity, but I do admit to being pleased with where I am with my life and loves.

This is the very long intro to posting an unknown etch (that I have long owned) while watching All in the Family.

For any youngsters who read this post, and have never seen nor heard of this show…you have missed something special.

This show’s long run dealt with every issue of our times – racism, ageism, homophobia, divorce, rape, abortion, feminism, draft dodging, war, politics, infidelity, relationships, marriage – using humor, incredulity, fine acting, wonderful, rich characters and realism.

I watch old tv.  Maybe it’s a sign of age, but I find modern tv so ridiculous for the most part.  I don’t get reality shows at all.  Where is the ‘reality’?

Anyway I digress.  I watched the show…Edith was fired for comforting a dying patient at the Sunshine Home….and I had tears in my eyes…while I was posting these photos.

Not much to say about the glasses.  Unknown etch – I’ve had them for a long time.   no idea of provenance.  Not the greatest quality of glass, but nice nonetheless.

But check out All in the Family….

Cambridge Nude Black Stem 2Ain’t this sweet?  I like the looks of these Cambridge pieces.  I used to have a Crown Tuscan Seashell Compote and have looked at others.

I bought a few others with different colour bowls, but they haven’t arrived yet.

The following information is from the book – Colors in Cambridge Glass II by National Cambridge Collectors, Inc.: Cambridge Nude Black Stem 1

“Also known as the 3011 line, Lady Figure Line and “The Cambridge Nudes,” this line, or at least parts of it, was produced from 1931 until the second company ceased operations.” My note – I think this was in 1958.

The pieces were made in a number of different shapes and and in a wide variety of colours.  Some Cambridge Nude Black Stem 3of the pieces are quit expensive, so if you have any in your attic, take care of them!

This is a very interesting article, with lots of gorgeous photos – Cambridge 3011 Statuesque Nude Stems.
