I picked up this relish some time ago – Line#1401-Empress.

Still love these pieces.  Here is a better photo of the etch on the stem.

I actually had nine of these stems – long story.  I now have eight again.  I believe in using my glasses.  I set our Thanksgiving table with my Belle le Rose pieces. Unfortunately I knocked one over and it broke.  Discouraging as you can’t run down to Walmart to replace it.  But….the table looked gorgeous!

I hope I am more careful at Christmas!!!!!

I have been waiting for these goblets for ages.  I have looked at these online on and off for months, if not years.  Finally, either the price was right or I just felt rich! They do not disappoint.

When I was at the Heisey Museum last summer I saw a piece of Belle-Le-Rose.  I commented that they didn’t have many pieces.  The attendant told me that the pieces are difficult to locate (I didn’t ask why, should have!).

I now have 8 water goblets and the two lite candle holder.  I am thinking that I will keep these pieces for personal use and not try to sell them.

The stem is #5009 – Queen Ann and the etch is #501, Belle-Le-Rose. It was introduced in 1938 and discontinued in 1942.

Gorgeous x 10!
