Update – Jeannette Glass Center Handle Server – Feather Pattern

Blue Glass, Center Handle Server, Colored Glass, Coloured Glass, Feather, Pressed Glass

I had never seen the blue server until recently.  It is a very delicate, pale colour – very pretty.

Interestingly I was chatting with one of my colleagues at Christmas time about glass.  We discovered that her grandmother used to have pieces of Feather.  Until then my colleague didn’t know what it was called.  Her grandmother is deceased but her mother and her aunt bring out their Feather serving pieces every Christmas.  We were able to add to her mother’s collection and I was able to give a piece to my colleague as a Christmas present.

You run into these pieces in the clear frequently.  I own, or have owned, the servers, a six part relish dish and a platter, all sourced from thrift shops.  I speculate that they must have been sold in one of the larger department stores – perhaps Sears – and became part of the entertaining ware of Canadian women.

Yet anJeannette Feathers (1)other center handle server has found its way home with me.  It is a Jeannette Glass piece called “Feather”.  I think the reason for the name is obvious.

If you haven’t checked out the Carnival 101 and Beyond site do so.  It contains lots of great information.  This is what the site says about the history of the Jeannette Glass Company:

“The Jeannette Bottle Works Company was founded in 1887 in Jeannette, Pennsylvania. At this time in their history they only produced handmade bottles.

In 1899, Jeannette Bottle Works joined the machine age and became the Jeannette Glass Company. With the new machinery (O’Neil semi-automatic bottle blowing machine), Jeannette Glass was soon producing canning jars, relish jars and automobile headlight lenses.

Jeannette Glass continued to expand and by 1904, they added medical supplies and household items to their production line.

In the early 1920s, new machinery was added and Jeannette Glass began producing tableware items. This cheaply made and brightly colored tableware became known as Depression Glass and is highly collectible today.

In 1961, the Jeannette Glass Company acquired the old McKee Glass factory which was also located in Jeannette, Pennsylvania. Together they produced many beautiful glass patterns until 1983. Due to a failing American market, Jeannette Glass shut down in 1983.”

The Feather pattern came in clear and blue.  I gather there are lots of pieces which areJeannette Feathers (2) fairly readily available.

Mismatched Etched Liqueur Glasses

Liqueurs, Plate Etched, Pony Glass

 

I have been picking up these little glasses one or two at a time for awhile.  They are dainty, delicate and pretty.

They are also tiny.  I think they would be considered small liqueur glasses.  I read somewhere that they are also called pony glasses.  Can’t remember why.

I have seven of three different shapes and etches.  But they look nice together.  No idea where any of them came from.

 

EAPG Heisey Souvenir of Toronto Bowl – Beaded Swag Pattern

I normally don’t collect souvenir pieces but how could I resist with Toronto ‘just down the street’.  I haven’t seen many older glass pieces with Canadian locations (other than Niagara Falls perhaps).

This is a pressed pattern called Beaded Swag.  I don’t know if this glass is considered milk glass or not.  I wouldn’t think so.  Neither do I think it is custard glass.  I have seen it called ‘opal’, but it is not ‘opaline’.  So….for the sake of not making a big boo boo, I am calling it ‘white’ glass’.  That’s relatively accurate!
