Needle Etch

004My guy suggested that I better organize my pieces.  I spent lots of time on the weekend repacking boxes, creating an online organized inventory and marking the boxes so that I can easily find things in the garage.  When someone buys something, it is often a wild guess as to where the item is!

The fun of this has been finding pieces that I’d forgotten about.  This piece is one of them  No idea where or when I picked it up.  I went through a neede etch craze where I’d buy anything.  Likely still am in that craze, just haven’t found anything for awhile.

This etch has a number of different details.  I thought at one point  that it was Dowager’s Necklace by Bryce Brothers.  Close, but no cigar.  Still could be a Bryce piece, but no verification to date.002 (2)

I love these random etches (don’t know why).  Likely older (<1920).

Cake Stand, Floral Cut, Indiana Glass, Platter, Tray

PlatterI’ve had this stand for ages.  I have absolutely no idea where I bought it.  It’s attractive with the detailing around the edge and on the base.

I had no idea of its origin so I posted it at the wonderful Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum for ID help.  Within hours the blank had been identified.

Made by Indiana Glass, likely in the 1950s, there were other pieces in the Coronation line.  Platter 2The pattern is unidentified and could have been made by Indiana or could have been made by another decorating company.

I have a number of cake stands/platters.  They are pretty, but take up a great deal of storage space (especially when you never bake anything).

Last update – October 4, 2012

Still updating my Indiana Glass.  I have found out, from Ms. Adler, that this pattern is also called Flower and Leaf Band.  It was introduced in 1933 in the off white French Ivory and reissued in the ’50s in white milkglass.  It was then called Orange Blossom.  It is Indiana’s pattern 239.

From May 4, 2012

My lovely, now 28 year old, daughter bought me a copy of Warman’s Depression Glass Field Guide – 3rd edition.  I don’t ordinarily seek out pieces of Depression glass, but upon leafing through the book I was taken with these pieces and decided to order them.  Got them on ebay.  They didn’t disappoint.

This is what the guide has to say – “Manufactured by Indiana Glass Company, Dunkirk, Indiana, in the 1930s and in the 1950s.  Made in custard colour, known as French Ivory.”  The colour is very subtle and I hope it can be picked up in the photo.

There are a number of other pieces.  By the value in the guide, it looks like the sherberts must be the rarest.  They seem to be worth the most.  I think I will be happy with just these pieces to add to my sugar/creamer collection.  But….if I came across them at a good price……..never say never!
