I don’t drink cocktails often, but I sure like making them for others to try out.  This season I used my Cambridge Aurora Ruby Cocktail glasses and the recipes I tried were a perfect fit for a single drink.

I might have to try out these beautiful glasses.  Heisey’s Spanish (#3404) line with the pretty Titania etch (#456).

I think this is such a pretty combination.  I am still waiting on finding the Spanish stem in cobalt (at an affordable price that is!)

Best wishes to all for a happy and healthy new year.  Thanks for visiting.

I really have no idea where these pretty pieces were made or when.  I am taking my best guess from items I have seen online.  I had tall matching goblets to these pieces some time ago.

The glass is light and the pieces are hollow from top to bottom.

I’d love to know more about them.

This has such a pretty rich colour.  Ruby with hints of yellow, particularly in the dolphins.  The floral details on the base make this a very festive holiday piece.  Likely would have more of a Christmas feel with reindeer instead of the dolphins!
