002Some months ago I didn’t own one of these center handle pieces.  Now I have four!  They take up an inordinate amount of space.  You can’t really stack anything on them, you can’t stack them on top of each other and they are not easy to pack away!

Whine, whine whine.  After all I can control my urge to purchase….or can I?  Obviously not.

This particular piece is a vaseline glass server made in the 1930s by the Hocking Glass Company.  This is an interesting article – Hocking’s Ring Pattern by Rosemary Trietsch – if you are interested in learning about the history of this pattern.

If you are interested in the history of the Hocking Glass Company and how it became the Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation, see this article at the Anchor Hocking Glass Museum website.

I bought my handy dandy flashlight to illuminate the uranium.  Works, gives the tray a nice glow to show.004

Heisey Diana (3)I don’t think these pretty little pieces are commonly seen.  I bought them online as I am always looking for Heisey pieces.  Heisey Diana (2)They are considered to be 2 1/2 ounce wine glasses.  Pretty tiny for nowadays use!  I actually serve wine in my goblets.  Fewer refills needed!

The cameos on these pieces show Diana, a hunting dog, and a stag.  I gather that there are two poses of the dog that were made, and I think there was an alternate prey.  I’ll have to verify in my books (which are way upstairs)!

This is Heisey’s stem #3357, and etch #442 which were produced between 1925 and 1937.

I have other clear Iris pieces, but this is the first in the iridescent.  Very pretty.  The irises have a bluish-purple cast to them in the light.  This is a 12 inch sandwich plate.  I have just picked it up and haven’t used it yet.  But…I think it will be pretty used outside on the deck when the weather gets nice.   I have a Fire King marigold cup and saucer, but no other iridescent pieces (yet).  I think the iris glasses would also be pretty in the iridescent.  I’ll have to keep my eyes open.
