Likely an early twentieth century line, I think it is line #760, but am not 100% sure. Pretty little etch. you’d think it would be named “Carnation” as it sure looks like these are carnations.
I think this stem is the oyster cup. I have had other oyster cups and marvel at the tables folks set in the past to have a stem specifically for oysters! Must have been alot of washing up once dinner was over.
More likely a fancy fruit cup now.

This seven inch bowl is a pretty green. It is vaseline glass, and glows quite brilliantly under black light. Of course, who has black light in their house all the time?
The plate etch showcases some large flowers.
The Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum has a photo of a pink bowl with this etch and refers to it as line 310-1/2. The legs on this piece are different so I don’t know if it is the same line.
The green is very pretty.

As much as I like the floral plate etches of the great glass companies, this etch, Chintz #338, has never been a favourite. Don’t really know why.
The line – Baroque – easily identifiable by the signature fleur de lis – was produced in many pieces from 1937-1958.
This National Depression Glass Association article provides some interesting background on this pattern, as well as another – Raleigh.
