Had a lovely drive and dropped in at the Main Thru Church Antiques Mall in Orono.  Picked up this pretty goblet.  The amberina colour is rich and quite spectacular.

This piece has the ruffled edge and while it is a goblet, could be used as a really pretty little vase.

Yesterday our larger neighbourhood held a multi-block yard sale.  We do this collectively this the first weekend in June annually.

This year I bought only a very few things from my neighbours (some years it is really bad!).  Sold a few items.  Our friend Dave came over to sell a few things of his own.  He had picked up a couple pieces of glass that I acquired.  This is one of them.

L.E. Smith Grape Goblet (3)I was taken by this shade of blue – very pretty.  A cross between cobalt and turquoise.

Replacements.com calls the shade Vintage-Blue.  The grapes and leaves are quite obvious.

I’ve been trying to determine the age of this piece.  I’ve seen it sold online as a 1960s piece.  But I don’t really know.

Spike Powder Jar (2)Powder jars have come and gone from my household.  But Spike has hung around for awhile now.  Don’t know if it is the “cheery” 🙁 look on his face, or the pretty green colour.

This is a smaller jar with a width of 4 1/2 inches.  But…it is a solid 5 inches tall to the top of Spike’s head.

There is another L.E. Smith dog powder jar with the bulldog sitting, but I like this guy.

L.E. Smith (?) My Pets Powder Jar

Animals in Glass, Depression, Dogs, Powder jar, Scotties

l.E. SMith My pets (1)This is a piece from my wee collection of “things that show Scotties”.  I’ve never had a Scottie, nor intend to acquire one.  I just like the way they, and Westies and some Terriers, look.  I really like my little china “Made in Occupied Japan” piece.  He looks very Sherlock-Holmes like.

Anyway…..this piece is commonly attributed to L.E. Smith made in the 1930s.  It is clear, but at some point had green flashed on to the clear.  I have left the pieces of colour in the jar.  The piece comes in a variety of colours including a pretty cobalt.

However I came across this piece of info recently on the Glass Message board:

l.E. SMith My pets (2)“This powder jar with the three Scottie dogs on the lid was made circa the 1930s, probably by L. E. Smith Glass Company. On pages 284-285 of the (new) book on the L. E. Smith Glass Company, by Tom Felt, it is shown in plates 750 and 751. He says that it “has been attributed to the Diamond Glassware Company. However, I believe that the “My Pet” may be the No. 648 dog powder box found in the 1937 inventory and listed as ‘Greenburg stock.'” (L.E. Smith acquired the Greenburg Glass Company in 1920 and continued producing glass with many of their molds.) Although he doesn’t go so far as to say it absolutely is Smith’s, he believes it to be Smith due to Smith’s predilection for Scotties and because the base of the powder jar is similar to the bases of other known-to-be-Smith powder jars”.”

So………..Greensburg, Diamond, or L.E. Smith?  Whatever – it’s cute as a button.
