Pink Corn Flower Bowl (2)When the weather is nice, the garden beckons.  It is hard to want to stay in and take photos of pieces of glass, regardless of their beauty.  It rained today so I am trying to get caught up a bit.

A two week road trip only resulted in two purchases of glass.  You just don’t see the pieces that I was seeking in Canada.  Lots of beautiful furniture in Quebec and the Maritimes and lots of pressed Canadian glass, but not much of the American plate etched pieces that I admire.

I bought this pretty comport in Toronto awhile back.  It is featured in Walter T. Lemiski’s book – Elegant Glass with Corn Flower (page 56).  It is the 8 1/2 inch comport and stands 4 5/8 inches tall.  No idea which company made the blank.  If anyone knows – please share!

Heisey Old Colony Sahara (3)These two photos illustrate Heisey’s Old Dominion blank/shape – #3390.

The first stem is in Heisey’s yellow shade called Sahara.  It has been etched with the Old Colony pattern – #448.

The bowls of both have a diamond optic., as seen more closely below.

The second stem has no etch on its clear bowl.  The stem is shaded in Heisey’s green called Moongleam.Heisey Old Dominion (2)

These are very pretty glasses, produced in the 1930s.

Even though they are the same shape and size, the colour and etching make them look very different.

Paden City Spring Orchard Cocktail (4)Another little piece of Spring Orchard (etch #545).  This is the cocktail glass with a ‘trumpet’ or ‘corset’ shape.

The glass of this piece is very clear and particularly bright.  I think the pattern of this reverse acid etch is quite clear in this shot.

Paden City Spring Orchard Decanter 6This caught my eye online.  Pretty etch composed of birds and flowers.  Paden City Spring Orchard Decanter 6I have tried to show the detail with this little close up.

The etch is Spring Orchard which was made after 1935.  The Paden City company, from Paden City, West Virginia, closed in 1951.

I have seen a reference to a Cordial, Tilt Decanter in this line.  I am guessing that this is what this piece is.  It’s not a large piece – only stands 6 inches to the top of the handle and is 4 inches wide.

It is pretty.
