Butter Dish, Cobalt, Grapes

There is something about cobalt glass that is very arresting.  I used to have the prettiest cobalt rooster, but I gave it to my mother who has a collection of cobalt vases and bottles.  This butter dish is the only cobalt glass I own.  I don’t know how old it is.  I have seen references to its 1970s origins.  I bought it in Lindsay, I think, while on a ramble.  It is very attractive.

Mosser Glass is still in business.  They have some pretty products showcased online, and you can order their catalog from their site.

Tiffin Cherokee Rose Water Goblets

Floral, Roses

I’ve posted this pattern in a champagne glass.  I just have the one champagne.  I decided to buy 8 of the water goblets for resale some day so ordered these online.  

The Cherokee Rose etch comes in at least two blanks.  I think this is the more common stem.

These pieces were made by Tiffin from 1941-1966.

They are quite pretty. Heavy.  I think that a glass obsessed person could collect just rose etches.  Unfortunately I haven’t gotten to this ‘place’ yet.

 

Florence’s Glassware Pattern Identification Guides

I very much enjoy buying glasses with etches that I do not recognize.  For one thing they are usually less expensive than well known patterns.  So I have bought a number of glass identification books to help me.  This set of guides are probably my favourites.  I bought one somewhere, liked it so much that I ordered the other three.  I like having the colour photos.  I find it much easier to identify patterns from colour photos than sketches, or even worse, black & white photos.

These guides offer a variety of etches, cuts, blanks from different companies and eras.  I highly recommend them.
