006I have mentioned my favourite local antique shop – Under the Toadstool – a number of times.  It is a great shop and if you are in the Bowmanville area, make a point to stop by.

Marie has a couple of ladies who also bring things in.  I met one partner who sells glass, among other things.  She almost always has something I want to buy.007 (2)

I picked up four of these needle etched stems.  They are smaller, likely sherries.  The glass and the etch were so clear and bright.  Nice quality.  So of course I couldn’t resist.

I’ll likely never identify them, but they are most attractive.

Unknown Etch with Swag and Flowers 2Yet another update on the original April 13 post and then the August 31st update.  I bought six of these stems (the one on the left.)  Now that I have these six, likely clarets or sherries, the one wine, two sherberts and a decanter, I practically have a set!  Still don’t know what they are of course.  I think I will try to to sell these glasses with the decanter.  Too cute.

Update – During our recent Niagara trip I added to my collection of ‘pieces with this unknown etch, unknown blank.’  They were in a shop in Fort Erie.

I don’t know why I feel compelled to do so, but….there it is.  They are sherberts/dessert dishes I imagine.  Very dainty.Floral Needle Etch

 

 

 

 

Ok – after posting this 5 minutes ago, I decided to troll for the image of the goblet to add to this post.  Here it is.15

142I have long had a single water goblet with this etch.  I have no idea where it is and I can’t find a photo.  Likely in a box somewhere.  Anyway…..came across this decanter on our Niagara trip.

144 I was so surprised to find the etch replicated.  I certainly didn’t need any more decanters, especially one without a stopper.  but I couldn’t resist, since I have the one stem.  Sheesh – how lame is that?????

Pretty, isn’t it?

Circular Needle Etch

Needle Etxh with SwirlsI should probably be showcasing some amber or marigold glass, because it’s the first day of October.  But…I think I’ve already posted all of that glass.  I’ll have to check!

Over the weekend I was repacking some boxes and came across these pieces. Interesting look at a similar etch, but different blanks.

I imagine that a number of companies produced this band of circles.  I have no idea who made the blanks and won’t bother to try to find out to be honest.  I dont think I bought the three that are the same, at the same time.  They do look very similar however.  I like the shape of the one taller, narrower piece.  But while the circles are interesting, they aren’t particularly pretty.  Off to the garage they went!
