Unknown Pinwheel Cut (yes, from the garage)

Champagne, Czechoslovakia, Pinwheel

009Last night, I was at a Value Village.  I had 7 sherberts in my cart, when I said – not an exact quote, “Wait a minute, you don’t need any more sherberts!” So……with a fair bit of reluctance,  I put them back.  Three had a needle etch that matches something I have, somewhere.  Four were cut.  I guess it can be done (I can go into a thrift shop and not buy anything!  I guess my guy made up for it – he went to an auction last night and bought me a very fab, old spinning wheel…….Finding a spot for it is going to be tough.

Anyway………Back to glass……If you have trolled through these pages you will note that, although I have some pinwheel, it’s not really my ‘thing’.

Found this in the garage and I can see what likely  interested me and caused me to buy it.  First, it is oddly heavy.  Second, the shape.  I am assuming that it is a champagne flute.  I am certain that there are lots of pinwheel champagne flutes, but I honestly can’t recall seeing any around.  Third, it has an attractive shape/stem and last, it is really, really, shiny.

Likely never see another exactly the same.

Cut Crystal, Cut Glass, Floral Cut

005Another piece of unearthed crystal.  No markings.  I liked the floral cut.  It has great elan!  No idea of anything about it.  Likely to be with yesterday’s stem and be heading off to a thrift shop.  I’d better NOT buy it a second time!

Czechoslovakia, Pinwheel, Water Goblet

007Four of these stems were part of the Thomas Webb Regency auction purchase.  I have to admit that pinwheel completely stymies me.  There is so much of it, and the differences are often subtle.  I have no idea if there is good documentation on the various manufacturers.008 (2)

They are not really my ‘thing’, but I can appreciate that they are pretty and have a nice stem.
