Greek Key, Needle Etch

Needle Etch with Greek Key (2)Yesterday I was kicking around my house.  I had choices.  A)  Clean stuff or  B)  Iron stuff or C)  Launder stuff or D) Go look for glass you don’t need.   I guess it’s not too much of a stretch for anyone to guess which option I chose.

I was going to go to Orono, but then I remembered that I hadn’t checked out the Pickering Antique Market even though I work within 8 kilometers of the Market.

So off I rambled.  It was worth the trip.  Although I didn’t buy much (still got a few things) it was worth the look.  I found a piece I have been wanting (I’ll show and tell in a couple days) and also found these glasses, although they were in the Flea Market section.

Needle Etch with Greek KeyPretty needle etch stems with the Greek Key detailing.  Didn’t need them, won’t be able to sell them, won’t use them – so of course I had to buy them!

Beautiful sound to them.  Nice thin, very pretty glass.  I’ll never ID them – but oh well, they will display beautifully.

Needle Etch, Sherbert

Bryce  Sherberts (4)I have these stems in the sherberts, and in a water goblet.  I’ll have to find the goblet image.

For the longest time I though that they were pieces of Bryce.  Recently I realized that the piece of paper on which I had written a Bryce blank line and the etch line, and carefully taped to one of the glasses, actually belonged to another stem!

The blank of the water goblet resembles a piece that I have often thought belonged to Fry.  Ballerina leg, medium-wide optic, DE 107 (on the other piece), or a lookalike.

The etch on these pieces has interesting details but lacks the attractiveness of what I consider more ‘polished’ patterns.  No pun, if there IS one, intended.

Bryce 355, Etch 321 (3)

In any event, obviously I don’t know anything about the pieces.  I think I have had them for a long time.  Maybe it is time to do some research.  But….my feeling is that they will remain a mystery.

Needle Etch, Plate Etched

Unknown stem 1This photo was sent to me by Rachel.  She wondered if I could identify it.  I have had no luck.  I have posted it elsewhere and so far no one else has identified it.  I also posted it in Google Images to no avail.

The etching around the rim reminded me of the etching around the piece of Baccarat’s Lafayette that I once had.  I looked through Replacement’s etched Baccarat, but no results there either.

If anyone recognizes this etch and/or the producer of the blank, I am sure Rachel would be grateful.
