Acid Etch, Cocktail Glass, Decanter, Floral Etch, Reverse Etch

Paden City Spring Orchard Cocktail (4)Another little piece of Spring Orchard (etch #545).  This is the cocktail glass with a ‘trumpet’ or ‘corset’ shape.

The glass of this piece is very clear and particularly bright.  I think the pattern of this reverse acid etch is quite clear in this shot.

Paden City Spring Orchard Decanter 6This caught my eye online.  Pretty etch composed of birds and flowers.  Paden City Spring Orchard Decanter 6I have tried to show the detail with this little close up.

The etch is Spring Orchard which was made after 1935.  The Paden City company, from Paden City, West Virginia, closed in 1951.

I have seen a reference to a Cordial, Tilt Decanter in this line.  I am guessing that this is what this piece is.  It’s not a large piece – only stands 6 inches to the top of the handle and is 4 inches wide.

It is pretty.

Blue Glass, Bowls, Coloured Glass, Tumblers

IMG_3588Hard to believe that it has already been two years since this happened.  Where does the time go?

As it turns out I had a nice visit with my daughter last month.  She served some snacks and I noticed that she used her blue bowl and some blue and white Pyrex plates that I had bought for her some time ago.  In fact…I think they were my very first Etsy purchase!  History in the making.

Anyway….when we were rummaging around shops in Florida I came across these little Pyrex bowls, made by Corning.  They seem to be the match for the plates I got her, so I had to pick them up.  They are small…only 5 1/2 inches in diameter.  I imagine that they are ‘berry bowls’.

I actually dragged them out (haven’t gotten them to her yet) last weekend and used them on the table with my own ‘blue’ bowls.  They are a great size for dips, flavoured butters and odds and sods!

If she doesn’t like them, they won’t be hard to keep.

010My eldest daughter asked me to buy her white and turquoise Pyrex dishes a couple years ago.  Last Christmas she asked for blue Le Creuset mugs.  While I am not a trained investigator, I discerned a pattern.  So….I have been picking up various blue and white pieces for her.

My son was home for a quick Easter visit and I got him to take these pieces up to his sister.  I liked the colours so I thought I’d snap this photo.  The two Libbey glasses and the Pyrex bowls.

My son brings back my car tomorrow.  We will be en route to Cuba, so I won’t know for a week if he has brought back any, or all, of these pieces.

Going on Vacation!

Off to Florida soon.  We will be flying to Tampa and then driving along the Gulf Coast for a couple weeks or so.  I just know that I am going to find some treasures!
