I have only ever had one other piece in Hawthorne. I actually prefer this colour to the pink Flamingo. I have never had, or seen in person, a piece in Alexandrite, so don’t know what that looks like. Photos show a pretty shade.
This little mint dish was found in the ‘wilds’ of Cambridge, Ontario. I always wonder why pieces end up where they do.

I picked up this cream and sugar with the tray recently while on a trip to the Niagara area. I was drawn to the pretty shade of blue, but didn’t know anything about the set, including its age.
I looked at a number of online sources to no avail and then posted it, with a request for an ID, on the great Everyday and Elegant Glass Forum. It only took a day before the set was identified. What a great network of glass afficionados!
Turns out that this set was made in the 1930s by a glass company called the Inwold Glassworks of Prague, Czechoslovakia. Here is a wee bit of information in its history – http://www.museumportheimka.cz/vystava/inwald-the-story-of-a-glassworks/. The line is called Perforal. No idea of the name of the colour.
I would never have found this ID on my own as it didn’t occur to me that it may be a set from Europe.

I have found on Replacements.com that this etch was done by Glastonbury Lotus on line 1125. However I do not know which company made the line and I have no name or number for the etch itself. I do not have any resources on this company. If someone else does….please share!

I thought it would be a breeze to identify this stem. Although the line is relatively common, I thought the etch would be easy to find.
No luck on either. I would be grateful for any information.
