Needle Etch

Marie, the lovely woman who owns Under the Toadstool, bought these glasses a number of months ago.  I swore that I would NOT buy them as I don’t know who made them, and I don’t need any more needle etches!

However today I cracked under the pressure of knowing that no-one else had bought them.  I only bought the wines (7).  They are very pretty – I very much like the shape.

I tried to identify this pattern for Marie, but was unable to do so.  So I’ve posted the stem on Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum.  I hope someone knows the etch, but I’m guessing that this will not be identified.

Marie says that she cannot sell glasses.  I don’t know why, everyone should have something special to drink their libations from.  Vintage glass is special!

Grapes, Milkglass

I picked up this one glass in the U.S.  Knew it would prove interesting.  It has…..

From Carnival Heaven…..

“The Harvest molds were created in the 1950’s. The Harvest molds are extensive. They include a whole dinnerware line.  There are dinner plates, salad plates, bread and butter plates, cups, saucers, goblets, large ice tea tumblers, mid-size tumblers, juice tumblers, large serving platter, salt and pepper shakers, covered butter dish, sugar/creamer/tray set, covered and uncovered wedding bowls, a three piece canister set, lace edge spooners both covered and uncovered, water pitcher, cake stand,  snack sets, sherbet set,  punch set, candle holders, large and small vases, compotes and more.

The Harvest molds were first used to produce beautiful snowy white, handmade milk glass items.  The milk glass items were called Colony Harvest.  Colony is a trademark of the Lancaster Colony Corporation. Indiana Glass produced the milk glass Harvest items but they were never sold under the Indiana Glass name.
Indiana Glass continued to produce the milk glass Harvest items through out the 1950’s and 1960’s.  The “Colony Harvest” pattern was obtained most often through the redemption of S & H green stamps in the midwestern states. You received a stamp for each $1.00 you spent and when a book of 300 or so was filled, you could redeem it for merchandise.  Colony Harvest was a very popular pattern and soon there was a need to increase production to meet the demand.  Some of the more popular Harvest molds were adapted to machine use.”

Candle Holder, Candlestick Holder, Floral, Milkglass

When we were in the States I picked this up.  I saw the signature on it, didn’t know what it was so I had to bring it home and check.  I tried to photograph it for the post, but the bottom was too shiny and I couldn’t get it to show up.  The IG of the mark stands for Imperial Glass.

This piece was made from 1950-64, according to Replacements.  There was a series of these pieces in a number of colours and finishes including this satin milkglass.

Pretty – too bad I couldn’t have found 2!
