I had four or six of these and they were among the first pieces that I bought way back when.  I sold them awhile ago.  You just run out of room.  And…you come across pieces that you prefer.  Funny though….the pieces I seem to prefer just keep going up in cost!!!!!  Luckily I came across the photos recently.  These were small – cocktails or sherry I imagine, if I remember correctly.  I’ve seen this pattern with the name “Jabot”, but I have seen it frequently referred to as DE (deep etch) 107.  I think this line was produced in the first decade of the twentieth century, but I wouldn’t bet a quarter on it.

Glass companies changed owners and were bought out over time.  Fry had a relationship (too long to write about here) with Beaver Valley Glass.  Beaver Valley produced the most beautiful Geisha pattern.  I haven’t seen it often.  I was outbid on a mug at $55.00 or so.  Too rich for my blood.  But I’d love to own a piece.  I’ve only seen this pattern on the mug.  It would be gorgeous on stems.

I bid on a pitcher with DE 107 but the seller cancelled the sale because there were noticeable scratches and I didn’t take it.  I have to admit to being a wee bit sorry that I sold these as I like having the older pieces, but they were too small unless you use the teensy glasses, and I don’t.
