013I bought this single candle holder some time ago and had it mistakenly sent to my daughter in British Columbia ( along way from my  home).  I was recently visiting her and brought it back with me.

It is Cambridge’s line #3500/74  four inch candlestick in the pretty Crown Tuscan pink.014

And…obviously the rams head collection continues.

Cambridge Rosepoint candles with Ram (5)I’m forever looking for the ‘collection-in-the-making’.  The ‘something’ that I want to focus on.  I have to admit the Cambridge Ram’s head items DO appeal to me.

I saw this set online.  This beautiful pair of Ram’s Heads candle holders (line #3500), etched with the Rosepoint pattern, were produced by the Cambridge Glass Company, of Cambridge, Ohio, from 1934-1958.

The ram’s heads are detailed, and oh so interesting! They are tucked beneath the lip of the candle cup. Cambridge Rosepoint candles with Ram (2)The rim of the base is edged with ‘beading’.  The heads are pretty teensy.  Hidden so that they are a treat when you notice them.

I regret selling my Vallerysthal vase with the rams.

Bowl, Empress, Mayonnaise Dish, Silver Overlay

Heisey Empress with Silver Overlay (4)I picked this piece up in Florida (I think).  For some reason I thought it was a piece of New Martinsville Line #4200 Radiance.  But of course it is Heisey’s Empress blank.

This is what Neila Bredehoft said in her book The Collector’s Encyclopedia of Heisey Glass 1925-1938:

“Dates:  1930-1938

Colors:  Moongleam, flamingo, sahara, alexandrite, tangerine, cobalt, marigold

Widely used for Heisey etches and cuttings”

Interesting comment – “Early Heisey ads also referred to it as “Lilies of France” pattern”

This piece is the 5 1/2 inch mayonnaise bowl.  Notice the dolphin feet.

The silver overlay is very pretty.Heisey Empress with Silver Overlay (3)

Corn Flower, Cornflower, Vase

IMG_3591This piece was signed so it wasn’t difficult to identify the maker, and I knew the cutting of course.  But I have had no luck identifying the line number for the shape.

I have two Corn Flower/Cornflower references and neither show this shape.  No one at the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum responded to my query either.  Must not be a common line.

I guess it doesn’t really matter, but inquiring minds like to know these things!IMG_3592
