I was at the St. Jacobs Antiques Market a couple weeks ago when I came across a booth that had 85% off of everything!  Even though this piece had some scratches, it cost about $2.50 so I thought I’d pick it up just to have the fun of identifying the etch.  It is marked so I knew it was a piece by Cambridge.

Turns out it is etch #747 – Brettone.  It is a very large scale pattern.  This piece appears to be an under plate for something as the middle has the ridges that woul seem to be for a bowl of some sort.

I wouldn’t call it pretty, but it is interesting.

Off on vacation to New Orleans and points around today.  I know there are lots of antique shops in the ‘Big Easy’.  Looking forward to the time in the US.

I was at the Twindmills Antiques Market in Colborne last weekend.  They always have a nice selection of items that are switched up often.

Nonetheless I was surprised to come across this very pretty server.  It is a lovely pink with the very attractive Juno etch.

Likely from the 1930s.

I picked up these pretty blue pieces recently.  The colour is a light blue with some white slag features in the plates.

They are marked “Pyrex…Made in Canada” which didn’t mean alot to me.  But I found this excellent reference – Canadian Depression Glass by Walter Lemiski – that told me that these pieces were likely made in the 1940s.

They were marked Pyrex and made by the MacBeth-Evans division of Corning Glass Works in Toronto.pyrex-blue-bowls-2

The pattern is called Piecrust because the design resembles the fork marks on a pie crust (I think).

I love the delicate colour.
