Over the years I have amassed a little collection of Pie Crust pieces.  I guess I have not thought to post the photos.

This one is decorated with Hughes’ Corn flower cutting.  I have two of them!  Not deliberately, but this is evidence of having too many pieces of glass that you forget what you have!

I don’t know what it is about these pieces that I find so appealing.  Could be the peg legs, or the deceptively attractive banding.  The designs are simple, yet quite appealing.

This silver overlay on this piece is in perfect condition.  I haven’t been able to identify it, but it obviously has a daffodil theme going on.

This three part bowl/dish has a very dainty etch/engraving (I never know what to call these designs, best do some research).  It has a real pretty look to it.Imperial Pie Crust relish dish (2)

Updated post – December 4, 2012

I was scrolling through the Gallery of the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum looking to ID an etch I am going to post soon when I came across a very similar bowl (different etch).  I was so pleased to see that my bowl is older than I thought – mid 1920s-1945.  Very exciting to be able to identify a piece.  I actually never thought I would.

Original post – November 23, 2012:

I bought this little bowl sometime ago.  It was 75 cents.  I have to admit that I have it displayed in a dark corner of the basement.  I’ve ignored it, in fact I hadn’t washed it in ages and was surprised when I did – I thought it had a yellowish tinge.  Turns out it was dust!

When I REALLY looked at this piece I saw that it actually has some intriguing features.  The feet and the banding (for the lack of a better word) make it very interesting.

The etch is pretty, although not spectacular, but the shape is very interesting.  No idea which company made it.

I guess I should move it out of the basement.

It seems like a very long time ago that I was antiquing in the US to purchase this pretty little piece.  Actually just being in the US was over a year ago.  We had to cancel our trip to Cambridge Ohio where I was going to attend my first Cambridge Glass Convention.  Oh well, my credit card was spared I guess.  Next year!

This is a pretty little piece with #327 Navarre.  Love the handles.

Update to Indiana Glass Killarney Divided Relish

A piece in the green.
And one in crystal.

You can find this piece on ebay in a number of colours – olive green, clear, amber, amber with Carnival tones, etc.  Generally vendors say that it is an early 1930s piece.   But in this colour it would appear more recent than that date.
The following is from the Glass Hermit’s blog:
“This appears to be a very early pattern for the  Indiana Glass Company because of the number #8, which you will often see following the name, Killarney.
So named by collectors because of its similarity to the Celtic cross.  In some of the older catalogs you may find this pattern listed as part of the Narcissus Spray #162 pattern.
 When Killarney was originally presented to the public is a bit of a mystery….only in crystal.  Records state that Indiana Glass “reissued” this pattern in crystal beginning in the late 1950s, therefore we know it was prior to that time.
Killarney appeared in amber, olive green and iridescent gold and a frosted beginning in the early 1960s.”  This information is also verified at the Carnival Heaven site.
It’s a sturdy, pretty piece regardless.  I am posting photos with (1st photo) and without (2nd) the use of the camera’s flash.  Can’t quite do the piece justice.
