006Some time ago I bought, and subsequently sold, a Jeannette Glass Marigold Powder jar with a Poodle finial.  I have kinda, maybe, perhaps, regretted the sale.  I decided that instead, I had to have a jar with the scottie finial to match my Heisey terrier figurine.   I’m not as fussy on the deer pieces. I’ve been looking for awhile.  They are common online, but the shipping has always been too  costly.

I found this piece in Pickering at the Antique Mart.  I blinked at the price.  It wasn’t particularly costly, but I fall into the trap of….I can get it cheaper online!  Then I shook my head, said some words about my illogical state of mind and bought the thing!

This will be a keeper, for awhile at least.  I have new shelving being installed in my home office tomorrow and I intend to display some of my favourite coloured pieces on my new shelves!  Now I just have to decide about buying (and keeping) another poodle or the pink scottie!

 

Yet Another Unidentified Needle Etch

Needle Etch with Greek Key (2)Yesterday I was kicking around my house.  I had choices.  A)  Clean stuff or  B)  Iron stuff or C)  Launder stuff or D) Go look for glass you don’t need.   I guess it’s not too much of a stretch for anyone to guess which option I chose.

I was going to go to Orono, but then I remembered that I hadn’t checked out the Pickering Antique Market even though I work within 8 kilometers of the Market.

So off I rambled.  It was worth the trip.  Although I didn’t buy much (still got a few things) it was worth the look.  I found a piece I have been wanting (I’ll show and tell in a couple days) and also found these glasses, although they were in the Flea Market section.

Needle Etch with Greek KeyPretty needle etch stems with the Greek Key detailing.  Didn’t need them, won’t be able to sell them, won’t use them – so of course I had to buy them!

Beautiful sound to them.  Nice thin, very pretty glass.  I’ll never ID them – but oh well, they will display beautifully.

Chicken Egg cupI have no idea why I picked these up (I had two, my son now has one of them).  Probably because they were cute and only $0.25 cents.  I don’t even eat poached eggs!

It is marked “FRANCE” on the bottom.  This is a common piece.  Lots online.  Saw some identified as “Luminarc”.  That’s as good a guess as anything else!  I think this little guy will head back to the thrift shop.
