Coloured Glass, Figural, Flower Frog, Pink Glass

009Never did buy the console bowl and…..I sold the piece.  I’ve long been sorry that I sold it, although I don’t really know why since I do not collect flower frogs.

In any event I wanted to post this again in order to point to this site that I came across today – Black Poppy Glass.  The site owners have a huge collection of beautiful pieces, including a large collection of Cambridge’s flower frogs.  Definitely worth a look as there are colours and shapes, not often seen.

Original Post – June 28, 2013

I am on vacation – yippie!  We are off on a road trip soon and I am certain that I will be picking up some treasures along the way.  I took the day off to work in the garden, but it rained all day!  I could have done laundry and packed, but decided to hit the local thrift and antique shops.

Now….I don’t need anything and haven’t bought a thing for ages, but….I couldn’t resist this pretty piece011.  It’s an 8 1/2 inch figural flower frog.  I’ve never owned one, so…I thought, well….why not?

The photos don’t really reflect the attractiveness of this piece.

Now I need to find a pink console bowl.

Cigarette Holder, Coloured Glass, Depression, Yellow Glass

Cambridge Cigarette Holder (1)Although cigarette smoking is considered unattractive by many people (including myself) I can remember a time when I was young when it was completely acceptable.

People had various containers for their cigarettes.  No one I knew had really fancy ones, like this one, but I can visualize this standing in someone’s house with cigarettes standing up in it.

This piece was made by Cambridge Glass.  It is from line #1337.  It is Cambridge’s Gold Krystol colour.

It could be used as a little vase.

I like the twist in the stem and the way the base turns up.

 

Cambridge Water Goblets with Apple Blossom Etch

Coloured Glass, Floral Etch, Gold Krystol, Plate Etched, Water Goblet, Yellow Glass

Cambridge Apple Blossom (1)Look at these very pretty goblets made by the Cambridge Glass Company.  These glasses are etched with the Apple Blossom plate etch (#744). The shape is line #3130.

The entire glass is shaded in Cambridge’s pale yellow which was called Gold Krystol.  It is a delicate shade.

I think these stems would compliment blue china with yellow and gold details.
