You know how you look at something every day and kind of appreciate it….but if you really look at it, you realize how utterly appealing it is to you?

Well…..this is how I feel about this egg cup.  It sits on the window sill of my home office, which is really my tv room, glasstorium and all around messy place to hang out.

Every morning I come into my office upon awakening.  I check my email, send email and check a variety of other sites.  At this time of the year I have to turn on the lights.  Imperial Glass Milkglass Rooster Egg cupOn my window sill are a few things that I haven’t put away somewhere…or…that I just enjoy seeing.  This is one of the ‘enjoyable’ items.  It is signed with Imperial’s <IG> mark.

I can’t remember where I bought this, although I think it was on a trip home to Fort Erie.

Don’t know why it appeals to me, but it does, even though I own far more gorgeous items.  I do have to wonder about the eggs that are supposed to fit in this cup.  It is a huge space.  I think the suitable eggs are somewhere between a goose egg and that of an ostrich!

Imperial Glass Milk Glass Rooster Egg cupWell, we are home after a 2800 kilometer jaunt around Ottawa, Quebec City, Towns in Maine, Boston and points between there and home.

My guy is a patient soul (occasionally).  We stopped at many, many thrift shops, antique shops and malls, consignment stores and yard sales.  I didn’t buy as many things as I thought I would, and I didn’t buy any one special item, but nonetheless I did come home with a few things.  Oddly enough most of them came from thrift shops.  I found the antique stores a wee costly and I didn’t find much in the way of treasures that I HAD to have.

It’s interesting travelling.  Every time we go on a road trip I seem to see some pattern on a regular basis.  This time is was Cambridge’s Rosepoint.  I saw lots of pieces of Rosepoint in every shape and size.  The stems were costly, although the serving pieces were reasonable.  Rosepoint isn’t a favourite, so I was able to resist.

I did go to this fab shop in Cambridge, Mass.  There were 3 cobalt Cambridge stems in this store (which was great). They were absolutely gorgeous.  I didn’t buy as I wanted to buy four.  Now I am sorry.  Likely I could eventually find one more.  Oh well.

Anyway….here’s a fun piece.  Marked with Imperial’s <IG> signature it is a milk glass rooster egg cup.  Cute little piece.  I have to wonder what kind of eggs fit into this cup.  My chicken eggs don’t fit.  Must be for goose eggs!

Imperial Sunflower PerfumeIsn’t this gorgeous?  I have seen this piece online for ages, but never ‘in person’.  Finally I saw it on ebay at a decent price, for two!  It didn’t disappoint, although i was very surprised at the size (I obviously didn’t read the description!)

The bottle is 6 1/4 inches tall, and with the stopper in, it is a magnificent 10 1/4 inches tall.

Made in the 1940s/1950s, my reading is that it was designed with a “Czech” look in mind.

Outstanding!
