Indiana Glass Wild RoseI think I have mentioned that my wonderful eldest child decided to use white and blue Pyrex dishes that I bought her awhile back as her ‘set’.  So she put the call out for white side pieces.  I was so happy to have a purpose for purchasing!

I picked up the milkglass Lily Pons bowl I posted awhile back, and these two bowls, also from Indiana Glass.  The pattern is called Wild Rose.  According to the wonderful Indiana Glass/Carnival Heaven site, this pattern was also called Wild Rose and Leaves and Gloria Anne.

It’s hard to tell from the photos, but the bottom centre of the large bowl is almost transluscent.Indiana Glass Wild Rose (2)

According to Replacements, the small bowl is a ‘fruit cocktail’.  I thought that it might have been an individual nut bowl.

In any event….does the child want any of them?  No.

199I’ve already shown off a couple compotes, and some tumblers that I’ve acquired in this pattern. During our travels we saw lots of pieces in this pattern.

Even though it is called by several names –  King’s Crown, Crown, Thumbprint, Early American Crown and Thumbprint, I like King’s Crown.  Don’t know why…..perhaps the ‘regalness’ makes them sound so hoity toity!212

These were all, 20 pieces worth, thrift shop purchases. Goblets and sherberts.

Amber Tumbler

UPDATE to this post…..As hoped, the wizards at the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum identified this tumbler in no time flat………The embarrassing part is that I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN what is is, since I have two compotes in this pattern.  I guess I just wasn’t seeing the pattern because it wasn’t a compote.

My eldest has decided that she wants interesting, vintage drinking glasses, and white vintage dinnerware.  I love having something to look for!

Last weekend she and I were out antiquing.  I bought her this tumbler in green.  She took it home with her (of course) and I was kicking myself that I hadn’t taken a photo of it.

That glass cost $9.00 in an antique shop.  THIS weekend I found three of these amber tumblers in a thrift shop – for $1.00 each.  Of course I bought them all.

I don’t know their history, but I have posted it online at the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum (great site) and hope someone far more knowledgeable than I will recognize it.  Just can’t decide if I should spend $15.00 to mail them to her (they’re heavy).  May not see her for a bit…..and everyone loves a surprise parcel, don’t they?
