I was making new business- sized cards to put into the parcels that I send out. I wanted to make a graphic with photos of some of the glass that I own, or have owned. I think all these pieces have been posted on this site at one point or the other.
Anyway, I was playing with photos and managed, although
I don’t really know how, to make these two frames. They include some of my favourite pieces.
Pretty pieces, aren’t they?

My guy brought this home for me. I guess it is attractive inits own way, but it doesn’t do a thing for me.
I don’t know if it is old or not. I posted it on a Facebook site that I belong to and asked if it was recognized. Someone suggested that it was made by Walther Glass of Germany and was a pattern called Belvedere.
I found the Belvedere pattern, but it doesn’t look to be a match. In the absence of much response I think it is likely relatively modern. Although there are some nice details, I think it will find a home at the local thrift shop, or with a neighbour who likes pink glass.

Although cigarette smoking is considered unattractive by many people (including myself) I can remember a time when I was young when it was completely acceptable.
People had various containers for their cigarettes. No one I knew had really fancy ones, like this one, but I can visualize this standing in someone’s house with cigarettes standing up in it.
This piece was made by Cambridge Glass. It is from line #1337. It is Cambridge’s Gold Krystol colour.
It could be used as a little vase.
I like the twist in the stem and the way the base turns up.
