Anchor Hocking Bubble Milkglass Vegetable Bowl

Milkglass, Vegetable Bowl

This is a very common item.  Comes in a large number of colours in clear glass as well as in the milkglass and in a large variety of shapes and sizes.

Replacements.com says this was manufactured between 1934-1965.  But here is a little mystery as it is signed with a weensy anchor that Glass Lovers database says is dated Anchor Hocking Newell Specialty Glass 1987.

So…..I had to find out a bit more about this discrepancy.  At the Anchor Hocking Museum there is a history of the company and its many iterations.  Included isthis information:

“The Newell Corporation acquired the Anchor Hocking Corporation on 2 July 1987. With this renewed influx of capital, several facilities were upgraded and some less profitable facilities were either closed or sold. The Clarksburg, West Virginia, facility was closed in November 1987, Shenango China was sold on 22 January 1988, and Carr-Lowry Glass was sold on 12 October 1989. Today, Anchor Hocking enjoys the financial backing and resources as one of the 18 decentralized Newell Companies that manufacture and market products in four basic markets: house wares, hardware, home furnishings, and office products. You may recognize such familiar Newell Companies such as Intercraft, Levolor Home Fashions, Anchor Hocking Glass, Goody Products, Anchor Hocking Specialty Glass, Sanford, Stuart Hall, Newell Home Furnishings, Amerock, BerzOmatic, or Lee/Rowan.”

Perhaps this line was produced when the company took over the Corporation in 1987.  Check out the Museum.  It is a private museum and has an interesting history of its own.

 

Carnival Fenton Blackberry Miniature Compote

Blackberry, Carnival. Berries, Compote

This is a pretty little thing.  I have had it for awhile but only identified it today.  I knew that it was recognizable and I didn’t want to post it until I had actually found it somewhere.  Don’t know how old it is though.

Check out David Doty’s Carnival Glass website.  Well indexed and you can easily find items through keyword searching.  According to this site, these miniature compotes came in a number of sizes and shapes.

It has  very pretty dark blue colour and can fit anywhere!

During my searches I came across this site – never had seen it before – What is Carnival Glass.com.  It is a site that has lots of potential.  Its goal is to “make the Most Complete Resource for Carnival Glass”.  Lots to see here.  Anyway…..the site says that known colors of this piece include: amethyst, blue, green, marigold and white.

Water Goblet

We were out on a fall drive on Saturday and stopped in Colborne for fries and antiques.  These glasses caught my eye, partially because they were $10.00 for five.  Might be a sign of their lack of value!  Nonetheless they appealed to me even if they are not my usual shape of choice.  They are red with an orange undertone.

I’ve been trying to find out anything about them – no markings.  Most of the patterns that I have come across, that have a similar stem, are European in origin. But no matches.

I don’t know if they are vintage or made last week for Pier 1.  I have posted them on the Elegant and Everyday Glassware forum for identification help, so we’ll see if anyone recognizes them.

They have a fall colour don’t they?  I set my Thanksgiving table with some amber Depression glass last night, but didn’t think to use these pieces.  They were in my office, not handy to the kitchen.  Out of sight, out of mind!
