Floral, Green Glass, Optic

I’ve set up an Etsy store – called…..wait for it…..drum roll….Grannys Glasses!!!!  Of course the danger is trolling around looking at other peoples’ shops.  And so it goes….I bought four of these stems recently.  They are such a pretty green, floral etch, medium-wide optic.  I am likely not showcasing them well enough as the colour in the photos isn’t as pretty as it is in real life.  In fact I think a new camera might be in my future (after Christmas of course).

I don’t know the etch, but it looks relatively common.  Hopefully someone else will.

Had a glass of white wine in one last night.  Worked just fine!

Floral, Lattice

I no longer have these stems.  I gave them to one of my daughters some time ago.  They were among the first items I bought when I started buying in bulk!

I don’t have any recall where I got them, but I was drawn to them because of the lattice work.  I never was able to identify them.  Fostoria has a lattice etch, but nothing like this.

Likely to always remain a mystery!

Floral, Sugar bowl

When I saw this at the thrift shop I assumed it was a piece of Fire King.  I couldn’t get a good photo of the marking, but it is the letter “F” in a shield and the words “HEAT PROOF” and “U.S.A”.

It wasn’t until I was poking around the usual cast of sources for an identification that I discovered that it was made by Federal Glass, likely in the 940s/1950s.  Seems to be lots of pieces available for purchase.

Don’t know where this will end up, but I only paid 25 cents for it.  It may go back to thrift shop!
