Decanter, Floral Etch, Needle Etch

Unknown Etch with Swag and Flowers 2Yet another update on the original April 13 post and then the August 31st update.  I bought six of these stems (the one on the left.)  Now that I have these six, likely clarets or sherries, the one wine, two sherberts and a decanter, I practically have a set!  Still don’t know what they are of course.  I think I will try to to sell these glasses with the decanter.  Too cute.

Update – During our recent Niagara trip I added to my collection of ‘pieces with this unknown etch, unknown blank.’  They were in a shop in Fort Erie.

I don’t know why I feel compelled to do so, but….there it is.  They are sherberts/dessert dishes I imagine.  Very dainty.Floral Needle Etch

 

 

 

 

Ok – after posting this 5 minutes ago, I decided to troll for the image of the goblet to add to this post.  Here it is.15

142I have long had a single water goblet with this etch.  I have no idea where it is and I can’t find a photo.  Likely in a box somewhere.  Anyway…..came across this decanter on our Niagara trip.

144 I was so surprised to find the etch replicated.  I certainly didn’t need any more decanters, especially one without a stopper.  but I couldn’t resist, since I have the one stem.  Sheesh – how lame is that?????

Pretty, isn’t it?

Glass on the Christmas Table

Heisey Belle Le RoseI sincerely hope that anyone reading this post had the most wonderful, peaceful, happy, filled-with-family, Christmas (if this is what you celebrate).  I know I did.

Earlier in the year I bought some Heisey Belle-le-Rose water goblets to keep as ‘my set’.  They finally graced the table last night.  Safely back in the cupboard now of course.

They did the trick, and were as beautiful one the table as I thought they would be.

Duncan Miller Citron 115 Candle HoldersOn the weekend I stopped in at Under the Toadstool.  I was looking for some Christmas inspiration, and a ‘bunny’ gift.  Had a nice chat with the ladies there and one of them asked me if I knew who had made these holders.

The colour and the clarity of the glass grabbed my attention, so of course I had to buy them!

I thought they might be Fostoria, but turns out that they were from Duncan and Miller’s Canterbury (#115) line.  I saw these pieces numbered as 115-2 and 115-122, but I can’t verify either.

The are a bright colour.  In my ignorance of shades I would have called them limeish-yellow!

Nice pieces…..and luckily I got the ‘bunny’ gift too!
