Unknown Center Handle Server with Floral Etch

Blue Glass, Center Handle Server, Coloured Glass, Dessert Tray, Floral Etch, Lancaster, Sandwich Plate, Westmoreland

Center Handled PlateI know that I always say that a piece is particularly attractive.  Broken record!  But…..this piece IS particularly appealing.  It’s not breathtakingly beautiful, nor is it unique.  But, there is just ‘something’ about this server.

I think it might be the shade of blue which highlights the floral etches that makes it stand out.

I posted this online for an ID.  I didn’t receive much feedback – some comment that it might be a Westmoreland piece.

Center Handled Plate (2)I took a peek at the website of the National Westmoreland Glass Collectors Club to see if I could find a match.  I did not, but I did find a link that allows you to seek a glass ID.  What a wonderful service – very prompt.  This is what I was told:

“I  believe the server blank was made by Lancaster Glass Company and not Westmoreland because Westmoreland never made a server with the straight handle.  Westmoreland’s servers always had a slight curve.  If you check the 1929 sales catalogue in the album section of the page you will can locate what the Westmoreland server looked like. ”

How great was that?  Very accommodating customer service.

I only have one Lancaster text, and couldn’t find it in there.  So…..this pretty piece has to remain an unknown for now.

Hobnail, Lamp, Milk glass, Milkglass

Hobnail LampIsn’t this cute?  We bought this a couple summers ago when visiting my mom in Fort Erie.

The most difficult task was to find a decent lamp shade with the piece that fits onto the bulb.  You can find them, but generally they are not in the greatest shape.

I bought this shade recently at a thrift shop.  It was the right shape and colour, but it was soiled.  I decided to throw it into the clothes washer on the delicate setting.  If I had a dishwasher I would definitely have used that.Hobnail Lamp (2)

In any event, the trim along the edges came out a little worn, but it cleaned right up.

I don’t know how old this lamp is and whether it fits the definition of milk glass…but I think this is cute.  I like the way it looks against the blue wall of my home office.

Animals in Glass, Chicken, Egg Cup

Chicken Egg cupI have no idea why I picked these up (I had two, my son now has one of them).  Probably because they were cute and only $0.25 cents.  I don’t even eat poached eggs!

It is marked “FRANCE” on the bottom.  This is a common piece.  Lots online.  Saw some identified as “Luminarc”.  That’s as good a guess as anything else!  I think this little guy will head back to the thrift shop.
