I used my recently acquired resource on center handle servers to identify this little server. This is the first piece that I knowingly own from this company.
A quick search across the Internet brought up this information from Glassian.

Glassian is an interesting site that I have never perused. Lots on information on insulators and vault lights.
This little server has pretty details. It has blue paint, gold trim and wheel cut decorations.

Up until very recently I had not purchased additional pieces with this plate etch. But I thought that these claret wine glasses were dainty and attractive with the optic. I picked them up somewhere on our road trip to Washington, D.C.
The line is Silver Flutes #6037 and the Heather etch is #343.

This is a pretty little comport. I don’t think I’ve ever put fruit or candy or jam or anything for that matter in to it. It mainly lives on a shelf. I think that Heather is a relatively readily available etch. Not as ornate as others. Don’t think I’d buy any other pieces in this pattern. I’m not much for serving pieces in any event.

I have no idea of the age of these pieces. I don’t think they are very old and I haven’t spent much time trying to identify them. My husband was more interested in them than I, although they do have a nice hand feel to them.
Although some people are very attracted to vintage/antique Vaseline glass, it has never really been an interest of mine.
Here is an interesting online article on the history of Vaseline glass and its composition.
