Chippendale Kry-stol / Krystol Covered Sugar Bowl

Chippendale, Kry-stol, Krystol, Sugar bowl

According to Glen & Stephen Thistlewood, authors of an online article ‘It’s Krys-Tol Clear!’ at https://www.carnivalglassworldwide.com/krys-tol-glass.html, Krys-Tol glass, dates back to 1905.

The Thistlewoods further state that initially Krys-Tol glassware was made at the Ohio Flint Glass Company, and then later at The Jefferson Glass Co. of Follansbee, West Virginia, from around 1908 to 1918. In 1918, the Krys-Tol line was produced by Central Glass.  I have no idea which company made this piece.

They also state that the glass was unusually brilliant (still is) allegedly due to high furnace temperature and a method of finishing and polishing the glass – and the trademark Krys-Tol was given to the range of glass made this way.

This pattern is actually named ‘Chippendale’.

This is a large sugar bowl that stands 4 inches tall without the lid.  It is 7 1/4 inches from one outside edge of the handle to the other. The opening is 3 3/4 inches. With the lid on the piece stands 7 5/8 inches to the top of the finial.  I have seen this piece referred to as a ‘Hotel Sugar Bowl’.  Makes sense I guess.

The Thistlewood article also reports that this line was very popular in the U.K.  I can see why, it IS an impressive looking piece.

Update – Jeannette Grape Candy Dish

Candy Dish, Grape, Grapes, Vine

Another in the blue/green flashed on combination.  Very pretty.  I was very careful washing this as the colour is still quite intact, except around the finial.  I learned the hard way, not to scrub away at these pieces – the flashing WILL come off!

This weekend my guy and I took a trip to the Kitchener/Waterloo area.  We made lots of thrift and antique shop stops.  I bought a few things but nothing new.  Just additions to patterns that I already have.

I did acquire a number of new books about glass, including one on Canadian glass.  I’m looking forward to rambling my way through these new tomes.

My guy was taken with the colours of this candy dish.  Originally it had lots more red. The finial was red as well as more of the lid. But it still has a pretty pink wash on it and it glow nicely in the sunshine.

Update – April 10th!!!!!  I was playing around on ebay and saw this item.  The seller identified it, and I verified it at replacements.com, as Jeannette’s Grape & Vine pattern.  It IS a footed candy dish.  One mystery solved – very pleasing.

Buying this lidded jar/bowl taught me a valuable lesson.  I picked it up at a thrift shop (where else?)  It is a cute little thing and sits on a windowsill with some china ducks that I have.  I don’t know a thing about it.  It is dimpled with leaf and grape decorations.  The finial is a cluster of grapes.

I don’t know how old it is.  When I pulled the price tag off of the bottom, some of the green peeled away with it.  I don’t know if this is foil, paint or what.  I haven’t been able to find any information that would inform me.

What I’ve learned is to soak price tags before peeling them off!  There are other patches where the colour has been worn, or washed away.

I came across a vase in Lindsay that closely resembled this piece.  Dimpled, green with same decorations.  It was marked with the Anchor Hocking mark.  But I can’t find any markings on this item.  If anyone has any information about this little bowl, as usual, I’d be grateful.

Update to …….. Fostoria – June Etch – #279

Bows, Creamer, Floral, June, Pink, Plate Etched, Wine Glass, Yellow Glass

Was up in St. Jacobs at the St. Jacobs Antique Market a couple weekends ago and came across a quartet of these pretty stems.  They are 3 ounce wine glasses.

The etch is #279 – June and the line is #5098 (patented in 1928).  A copy of the patent is available for review in the gallery of the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum.

The depth of the etch is interesting.  Three of the glasses are lightly etched and the fourth shows much heavier etching.  I have tried to show this in the images.  The larger photo has the lighter etching. 

Such a pretty yellow.

I had the sugar at one point but sold it.  June is a very pretty etch.  This is in pink and it comes in blue, two yellows and clear as well.  This etch is similar to another of Fostoria’s patterns – Romance.  I gather that the pink and blue are the most popular colours for collectors.  This is the only piece I have of this etch.  Pretty, very romantic.
