This colour of this candlestick holder a rich amber. Very compelling.
It was produced by the Fostoria Glass Company between 1924-1953.
The pattern is line #2324 and the etch is #276 Beverly.
I love these intricate etches.

It seems like a very long time ago that I was antiquing in the US to purchase this pretty little piece. Actually just being in the US was over a year ago. We had to cancel our trip to Cambridge Ohio where I was going to attend my first Cambridge Glass Convention. Oh well, my credit card was spared I guess. Next year!
This is a pretty little piece with #327 Navarre. Love the handles.

I have a small sauce dish (I think and which I realize I don’t think I have ever posted) and have long wanted a larger piece so that you can really see the lions. I came across this piece last weekend in St. Jacobs at the St. Jacobs Antiques Market. I was very surprised to see it. It was not very expensive, but I hesitated for a few minutes, but realized that I would be super, super sorry if I didn’t scoop it up
!
I have only ever seen this piece online and didn’t realize that the finial had two faces!
I really love the lions on the finial, the corners of the foot and on the corners of the dish.
The book American Pattern Glass Table Sets by Gene and Cathy Florence has some information on this line. They say (page 75) that the pattern is also known as Clear Lion Head, Frosted Atlanta, Late Lion, Square Lion and Square Lion Heads. They also state that the pattern was introduced in 1895 and that it was produced in crystal and crystal with frost (plain or etched).
I would love to know why it is called “Atlanta”. If anyone knows, please share.
