Update to my March 6, 2013 post.

018I have been looking for these pieces in colours other than the Forest Green and Ruby Red.  But to date that’s all I have found.  I was in a thrift shop and I saw this little vase in two lighter shades of green.  I picked this one up (left the other as it was close).

I assume it’s a sister, or brother piece.

Anchor Hocking Forest Green Vase (2)This is a cute little thing.  Very deep green colour.  Ordinarily I wouldn’t pick it up as…I have a gazillion vases, small vases are impractical for me, I don’t need more stuff that I normally wouldn’t pick up, etc. etc.Anchor Hocking Forest Green Vase

However I liked that the label was still partially adhered to the glass.  It certainly make tracking this down easy.

There are many pieces of this line available.

 

Indiana Glass Bowls in the Loganberry Pattern

Indiana Glass Loganberry BowlI don’t know which one I had first, the Carnival piece I think.  Then along came the green one, and then, last weekend, the clear.  These bowls were made in the 1980s.  I hope it is easy to tell that one is clear, one is green and one is amber/Carnival.  I’ve only showed the close-up of the Carnival piece.

Indiana made older pieces back in the 1920s but the colours were a light pink and a light green (not together).  I’ve never seen the older pieces.

The bowls are bon bons.  Folks sure made fancy dishes for candy!  But they are large enough to use as cereal/soup bowls or even for serving.Indiana Glass Loganberry Bowl (3)

They are attractive.  I hope the details of the fruit and leaves are distinguishable.  The berries serve as feet for the bowls.

028My guy is my silent partner in the glass buying crime!  He pretends that he scorns my obsession, but either comes home with stuff that I like, or ‘makes’ me buy things about which I am dubious.

This is one of the items he ‘forced” me to acquire.  We were in Fort Erie, visiting my mom and doing the rounds of thrift shops.  He, although not to be admitted even under threat of torture, fell in love with this piece.  I was reluctant to buy it because now we have to find a shade that fits on the bulb, that looks appropriate and is in good shape.

I have to say that I don’t need to have a vintage shade as I don’t like yellowed stuff.

I haven’t even put a bulb in this lamp so don’t know if it works.  But…it is cute and maybe I’ll find a shade, and maybe I’ll find a place to put it some day.
