I haven’t posted in a very long time.  Not because I haven’t acquired new stuff, but life has just gotten busy and the blog fell to the bottom of the priority list.

This piece deserves to be highlighted.

Over the years I have owned a number of pieces with ‘Willow’ etches, primarily from Fostoria.  Each time I sell a piece I wonder if I REALLY wanted to do that.  I have a large collection of blue and white porcelain willow dinnerware from different countries and manufacturers and time frames.  I mix and match them when having company and always have thought that the etched glass would be great to have on the table.  But I keep on selling it.

This is my first Cambridge ‘Willow’ #715 etch (on a mayonnaise dish).  Isn’t it gorgeous?

 

 

Hawkes Cutting on an Unknown Water Goblet

The photos do not really do this stem justice.  This is a lovely piece of glass.  I bought four water goblets (I assume) online ‘on spec’ knowing that they had the ‘HAWKES’ signature.

Unfortunately I have not been able to identify the provenance of the blank or the name of the cutting.

Here is an interesting online article about Thomas Gibbons Hawkes and his company.

This stem is not ordinarily one I would pick up.  But every so often my husband encourages me to buy something and I generally crack.

I have had them for so long that I can’t even recall where they were purchased.

It took me awhile to ID these stems.  Mikasa – Tea Rose/Tearose produced between 1986 and 1990.
