This pretty candle holder was made by Fostoria allegedly between 1938-1957. This is line #2560 1/2 Coronet candlestick with etch #133 – Willowmere.
It has an octagonal stem and some nice details on the top.
I bought wine glasses in this line for my daughter some time ago. Wonder if they have survived!

Please find a pretty pressed ruffled edge milk glass vase manufactured by the Imperial Glass Company. It was likely manufactured between 1953-1971. This pressed piece is decorated with a ruffled edge, loganberries and leaves and is signed with Imperial’s mark.
I like it because it reminds me of my neighbour’s mulberry tree (yes I know they weren’t loganberries). I don’t even know what loganberries are! Anyway my neighbour had a tree and the neighbourhood kids spent a great deal of time in it picking and eating berries. While the tree was cut down as there after a horrible accident, I still have fond memories of having a purple stained mouth and figures.
This all happened 50+ years ago. So clear to me, although last week is a bit of a blur!

I think this was made by Lancaster glass, but not 100% sure. It is a pretty eight-sided piece with yellow floral transfers.
I have had this sitting in my office shelf for such a long time – don’t know why I don’t use it. It is a cheery little piece.
