Animal, Animals in Glass, Avon, Owl

Avon Snow OwlOver the years I have collected personal treasures for myself and my children and stored them in big plastic totes.

I have been trying to clean up my own totes – give away some items, trash others, etc.  I came across this glass owl recently.

I cannot recall who gave this to me and/or when I received it.  Years ago , as in 40 – yikes! – I was a brownie leader.  At first I was a “Snowy Owl”, then I earned my “Tawny Owl” designation.  In fact I recently gave my pin to my daughter who is a guide leader.  Anyway……..I started receiving lots of ‘owl-themed’ gifts.  Candles, jewelery, macrame, etc. etc.  I think this is likely a recent gift, but this is the only reason I think I have this.  Or……maybe it’s been in my tote for awhile.

In any event, it is an Avon powder container called Snow Owl.  Piercing blue eyes!

|I have a number of glass animals that I am going to have to photograph.

Animals in Glass, Coloured Glass, Marigold Glass, Powder jar

006Some time ago I bought, and subsequently sold, a Jeannette Glass Marigold Powder jar with a Poodle finial.  I have kinda, maybe, perhaps, regretted the sale.  I decided that instead, I had to have a jar with the scottie finial to match my Heisey terrier figurine.   I’m not as fussy on the deer pieces. I’ve been looking for awhile.  They are common online, but the shipping has always been too  costly.

I found this piece in Pickering at the Antique Mart.  I blinked at the price.  It wasn’t particularly costly, but I fall into the trap of….I can get it cheaper online!  Then I shook my head, said some words about my illogical state of mind and bought the thing!

This will be a keeper, for awhile at least.  I have new shelving being installed in my home office tomorrow and I intend to display some of my favourite coloured pieces on my new shelves!  Now I just have to decide about buying (and keeping) another poodle or the pink scottie!

Animals in Glass, Chicken, Egg Cup

Chicken Egg cupI have no idea why I picked these up (I had two, my son now has one of them).  Probably because they were cute and only $0.25 cents.  I don’t even eat poached eggs!

It is marked “FRANCE” on the bottom.  This is a common piece.  Lots online.  Saw some identified as “Luminarc”.  That’s as good a guess as anything else!  I think this little guy will head back to the thrift shop.
