054Thought I would just add the photo of the smaller glass – likely a liquor or sherry glass.  My Boopie collection has virtually disappeared.  Sold most of the red pieces, gave the amber to my daughter and just have a couple of these left.  I think my Boopie buying days are past!

Original May 29, 2012 Posting –

I can’t count the number of times I have come across the clear, unknown etched Boopies, in thrift shops.  I picked up a few of these shape, and sherberts, some time ago.  They are not my favourite and may find themselves in this weekend’s neighbourhood yard sale (weather permitting).  I much prefer the red and green, although I have some yellow pieces in the trunk of my car, yet to find themselves posted up here.

Avon Milk Glass Bird on Nest

This is one of my bird-on-nests collection.  I have no recollection of my purchase of this item, but I half think I got it in a box-lot at a Stapletons Newcastle auction.

It sits, with my other birds, on a white book case, in the sunny front window of my living room.

It’s a common item.  All my searches tend to date it as a 1970s item.  Mine has the number <14> on the bottom of the nest.  No idea what that means.

Pretty piece, probably had powder in it originally.

What a gorgeous stem!  I have shown a couple Heisey Orchid Pieces, but this is the first water goblet I’ve had.  This is a very majestic blank and etch.  I like my Heisey glass very much.  I have four of the water goblets.  Don’t know if I will use them, or sell them down the road.  I had parfaits some time ago, but sold them online.   If I sell them, they have to go to an appreciative home – after all they are gorgeous pieces!
