I have been picking up these little glasses one or two at a time for awhile. They are dainty, delicate and pretty.
They are also tiny. I think they would be considered small liqueur glasses. I read somewhere that they are also called pony glasses. Can’t remember why.
I have seven of three different shapes and etches. But they look nice together. No idea where any of them came from.

I normally don’t collect souvenir pieces but how could I resist with Toronto ‘just down the street’. I haven’t seen many older glass pieces with Canadian locations (other than Niagara Falls perhaps).
This is a pressed pattern called Beaded Swag. I don’t know if this glass is considered milk glass or not. I wouldn’t think so. Neither do I think it is custard glass. I have seen it called ‘opal’, but it is not ‘opaline’. So….for the sake of not making a big boo boo, I am calling it ‘white’ glass’. That’s relatively accurate!

This is a small pressed glass bowl made by Heisey Glass, likely during 1899-1903ish. The pattern is called Beaded Swag. The rim has sawteeth with gilt. The bottom is rayed.
I have seen this described as ‘opal’ and milk glass. There may be custard glass with this pattern as well, but I don’t think this is custard glass.
I like the local connection – being close to Toronto.
