Green GobletsThis past weekend was glorious.  We took a rural ramble and headed out to Bobcaygeon, one of our rambles.

As it turned out it was Bikefest, which isn’t bicycles, as I thought when I saw the signage, but a gathering of motorcycles!  Lots of beautiful, powerful machines prowling about town.  I used to ride a bike.  Still have my motorcycle license, but it’s been a long, long time since I have piloted one.Green Goblets (2)

Anyway….some new antique stores have opened since we were last in Bobcaygeon.  I bought these pieces at Good Pickins a nice clean shop with lots of variety and very reasonable prices.

I have no idea if they were made last week, or if they are old.  They are heavy and attractive.  They look like pressed glass, but I am thinking that they are modern.  No luck with anyone identifying them yet, but I will keep looking.

I wonder if green glass is popular.  This week I have sold my Fostoria Vernon and Fostoria Spartan green pieces.  Gorgeous pieces all, especially the all green Vernon stems.

I always have minor regrets when I sell something.  They were all sitting on shelves in my office and I have enjoyed looking at them, but oh well………….new space for new treasures.  These pieces are attractive in a different way.  Not as delicate, but they have a shine to them that made them irresistible.
