001Update to my original post of April 22, 2012…

Don’t know why I was confused about the pattern.  This piece, and the piece below are definitely Florentine No. 2 (a/k/a Poppy No. 2).  They were produced by Hazel-Atlas between 1932-1935.

Picked this yellow sherbert up at a nearby thrift shop recently.  Hard to tell from the photo, but the colour is very ‘citrusy’ yellow.

I don’t know if this is Florentine number one or two.  But it’s definitely Florentine. It’s a cute little thing.  If you put your dessert in this sized glass you wouldn’t have to worry about eating too much Hagen Daas!  I picked this up because I don’t have any pieces in the clear.  Oddly enough I’d never seen the clear.  Always interesting to see pieces in the proverbial flesh.

231Picked this jar up at a free yard sale in Kemptville.  I liked the fruit (pear I think) engraving.  Don’t know one darn thing about it.  But…it’s pretty, isn’t it?

Already given away. I hope it’s enjoyed.  However, when I give away a piece of glass, it is GONE!!!  The recipient can keep, give away or throw away.  Up to them.

Northwood Leaf and Beads Carnival Rose Bowl

Northwood Fruit and Leaf (2)Picked this up pretty rose bowl in a thrift shop in the U.S.  In fact, that is where most of my recent purchases came from.  It is marked with the Northwood ‘N’ in the centre, so it wasn’t too hard to identify.

I gather that this colour is fairly common and that this pattern was produced on a number of pieces and in a variety of colours.

The flower is a sunflower and while this piece has a sunflower interior, not all of them do.  There a good look at this piece at David Doty’s Carvical Glass Website.
