Picked this jar up at a free yard sale in Kemptville. I liked the fruit (pear I think) engraving. Don’t know one darn thing about it. But…it’s pretty, isn’t it?
Already given away. I hope it’s enjoyed. However, when I give away a piece of glass, it is GONE!!! The recipient can keep, give away or throw away. Up to them.

I haven’t posted anything in ages. One of THOSE kinds of months! We all have those and even our collections/obsessions have to take a back seat.
Last weekend our neighbourhood had a collective yard sale, despite the discouraging weather. I picked up this pretty stem. Just the one unfortunately. I think it has a real pretty shape and etch.
I really like the fact that the etch spreads out from the base of the bowl. I think it’s a sherry/cordial/liqueur – small size.
I haven’t posted it anywhere yet to seek advice on the ID. But…it goes into my Unknown Etch Museum!

I bought two of these stems a week or so ago. I had thought that I had seen these in a Fostoria book. But I’ve looked through my books a couple times and couldn’t find it.
It is a very modern looking stem – very angular with the vertical etching. If I can’t ID it, I’ll likely return them to the thrift shop.
Pretty colour though.
