My partner, in life, and collecting (although he’d deny it) picked this little stem up at a yard sale. 
The lady who sold it said that it had belonged to her father.
I don’t know anything about the piece. I am guessing, by the colour, that it is Czech or Bohemia Crystal.
It’s a small stem – likely a cordial, or liqueur glass. I like the colour – I rarely purchase coloured stems, although I don’t know why. Likely because they are generally more expensive.
Anyway nice thought from my guy.

I picked up three of these tumblers in the U.S. during our trip to Tennessee. I had never seen these in the flesh, per say, 
before. Normally I wouldn’t buy three of anything, but they were pretty and inexpensive.
I think this is an etch that is easy to find, if it appeals.
Hard to photograph the entire glass but I wanted to show the full etch.

I picked up a number of Milk glass pieces at a Salvation Army in the U.S. I’ve seen this compote online, but I’ve not identified it. 
It’s a pretty thing. The edge of the base is a translucent blue. Hard to photograph.
I don’t know why I pick up milk glass – it’s really not a favourite. But is IS cheap I guess.
