Whenever we cross into the U.S via the Thousand Islands Bridge we make a stop in Watertown, N.Y.  There are a couple antique shops there to visit.

We have been several times to Old Jail Antiques.  It really WAS a jail of some sort and the old cells hold stuff of all kinds.

It is somewhat of a challenge to hunt in this store as things are piled willy nilly, generally nothing is clean and often the lights aren’t working.

However sometimes you find items of beauty.  I once found the most beautiful Czech piece with gorgeous painting and cutting.

This time I found the pretty pieces with the Lotus Springtime etch that I have already posted and these pieces of Cambridge Glass.

These are from line 3122 with platinum bands along the base and rim.  There is a medium to wide optic.  I think the details on the stem are very attractive.

Cambridge Glass Platter / Underplate with Etch 747 – Brettone

I was at the St. Jacobs Antiques Market a couple weeks ago when I came across a booth that had 85% off of everything!  Even though this piece had some scratches, it cost about $2.50 so I thought I’d pick it up just to have the fun of identifying the etch.  It is marked so I knew it was a piece by Cambridge.

Turns out it is etch #747 – Brettone.  It is a very large scale pattern.  This piece appears to be an under plate for something as the middle has the ridges that woul seem to be for a bowl of some sort.

I wouldn’t call it pretty, but it is interesting.

Off on vacation to New Orleans and points around today.  I know there are lots of antique shops in the ‘Big Easy’.  Looking forward to the time in the US.

I haven’t looked at this listing for a long time.  But now that I am looking at the photo I think that I misnamed it originally.  I think that the piece is from Cambridge Glass with etch Rose Point.

I no longer have the piece to verify the ID, but I think Rose Point is the better bet.

Original Listing – May 24, 2012

I’ve a number of pieces of this pattern – water goblets, one champagne stem, and various serving pieces.  I bought this at an auction in Brighton with the other serving pieces.

I can’t find this particular dish online, but I am guessing that it is a handled cake plate.  It has a one inch base, so it is likely for cakes or cookies.  These pieces are pretty, but they take up so much storage room.  Right now this one lives in a cedar chest with other pieces (and other collectible stuff) that have no public showing.
