I think I finally ended up giving the creamer and sugar away.  Certainly couldn’t sell it.  Well, still been a good lesson for me.  I am now ruthless about looking for condition flaws.  Doesn’t mean I won’t buy something, but at least I know upfront if there is any damage.

Bought this set of candle holders in the Nerva line.  The scrollwork is very attractive.  Don’t know the name of the cutting.

Paden City NervaI learned, well…relearned…a lesson after buying these pieces at a local thrift shop.  DON’T BUY GLASS WITHOUT YOUR SPECTACLES!!!!!  Got home to find that someone has very carefully glued a broken foot back on the creamer.  Didn’t notice as I can’t see close-up any more and my glasses were well protected in my car!  Oh well.

This is Paden City’s Nerva line with silver overlay perhaps applied by Lotus.  Lots of pretty pieces in this line and some in red as well.

It’s been such a long time since I have posted on my blog that I can’t even recall where I bought this pretty piece.  I have such a weakness for these center handle servers.  I rarely use them or sell them and they are difficult to store, but they call out to me!

This one had such a pretty handle and such a rich colour that I couldn’t resist it.

Turns out that it was made by Paden City, likely in the 1930s.  It has a cutting with foliage and a berry/flower (?) – name unknown.

Last month we took a little trip down to the Poconos.  We meandered down and back through upstate New York.  One of the best antiquing trips that we have taken in a long time.  Picked up lots of fun and pretty glass items.

I recommend the great places we visited which included:  the Syracuse Antiques Exchange, the Clarence Hollow Antique Mall, the Premier Antique Center, Ontario Mall Antiques, and Early Owego Antique Center.

This 5 part relish is one of the pieces.  I didn’t know what it was when I saw it but it is in wonderful condition and the glass just shines.  Very pretty piece.

Didn’t take long to identify it as Paden City’s relish – line # 220 – Largo.  The decoration is Lotus Glass’ Bridal Bouquet etch – #0906.

It is a heavy piece, almost 3 pounds on its own.  Looks gorgeous in front of the birthday flowers sent by my wonderful daughter.
