I have so much glass to be posted it isn’t funny.  I have had lots of good luck lately and while I haven’t found pieces that I intend to keep, I am pleased to find some new items.

This little dish is a case in point.  The photos do not do it justice as the colours are much more vibrant and richer than they appear here.

David Doty’s The Field Guide to Carnival Glass –  https://www.ddoty.com/grpcabtabledress.html – indicates that this piece was part of a dresser set.   If you love these pieces have a look at his photos.  Simply beautiful examples of this pattern.  This piece is the pin dish a/k/a nappy whimsey or nappy and was made from a punch cup.

I can honestly say that I would never have guessed that ladies had dishes specific for pins!  But I guess that women of the era had hat pins, and maybe even pins for their hair.
