Cambridge Cigarette Holder (1)Although cigarette smoking is considered unattractive by many people (including myself) I can remember a time when I was young when it was completely acceptable.

People had various containers for their cigarettes.  No one I knew had really fancy ones, like this one, but I can visualize this standing in someone’s house with cigarettes standing up in it.

This piece was made by Cambridge Glass.  It is from line #1337.  It is Cambridge’s Gold Krystol colour.

It could be used as a little vase.

I like the twist in the stem and the way the base turns up.

Heisey #3389, Etch #480 (1)In November I was performing an update when my site crashed after experiencing a fatal error.

I didn’t know how to fix it. I wasn’t too bothered as I wondered if I was interested in keeping it going anyway! After all, it is not the Huffington Post! My readership is slim, but…what the heck…..

The wonderful people at Dreamhost – my hosting site fixed it and it is live again.

In the intervening months I have bought, and sold, some beautiful pieces. I will start posting them again.

Seems fitting to start with a beautiful piece from  my favourite company – Heisey.Heisey #3389, Etch #480 (2)

The shape/blank is #3389 – Dusquesne and the etch is #480 – Normandie.

The production years for this line were 1935 – 1938.

The stem on this champagne is neat.  It has ribbed edges with pretty detailing at the base of the stem.

The entire shape is gorgeous.

These glasses are particularly bright, don’t know why.  Very pretty.

Utility Glass Works Cambodia Ware Water Goblet

Depression, Water Goblet

Utility Cambodia WareI bought 8 of these glasses at the local Salvation Army quite awhile ago.  They are not flashy pieces.  I put them away and, to be honest, disregarded them.

But….they are quietly attractive.  Cambodia Ware, pattern #992, was produced by Utility Glass Works of Lonaconing, Maryland from 1924-1929. 

The designer was Oliver S. Atterholt who filed the product patent in 1924. 

They have a narrow optic and a curvy shape.

Although these pieces are clear, they came in a variety of colours.
