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.

Acid Etch, Fan, Floral Etch, Lotus

Dorflinger DecanterI still have these pieces.  In fact here is a photo of a decanter that I bought and sold with this pattern (I loved the stopper, hollow with the dainty etch on it).  Until recently, they remained unnamed.  However I came across these punch cups on Etsy and took the opportunity to ask the seller if s/he knew anything about this pattern

As it turns out the pattern is acid etched.  Older pieces – 1908-1918.  It is called Lotus and was produced by Dorflinger Glass.  On Replacements.com they identify a water goblet as part of Kalana line.  But my stem has a bit of a bead on it, unlike the Replacements.com stem so I don’t know if it is from the same line.

I don’t know anything about Dorflinger Glass, but here is a link to the Dorflinger Glass Museum page.

I was in Orono this past weekend and the four stems are still there.  Now that I know what they are, I might have to have another, more serious peek at them.

This glass is driving me crazy!  A year or so ago I saw wine stems in this pattern in Orono.  They were costly so I didn’t buy them.  I saw two of these at the Courtice flea market recently.  They were $7.00 so I thought I’d get them.

I thought that I had seen this pattern in a book.  So…..I poured over all my books and found, what I thought was this pattern.  It is Bryce Brothers, Etch 410, also known as Tall Fans, Thistle or Asparagus.  This is what I remembered.  But unfortunately it is close but not quite bang on.  Dang!  So the mystery is on…what is this etch?

Hobb Brockunier Flamingo Habitat Compote (4)I have long wanted a piece of glass with this acid etch.  I was almost seduced by a set of water goblets on ebay, but they were more than I wanted to pay.

We took a beautiful, early fall drive out to Orono and lo and behold I found this pretty piece at the Silly Sisters Antique Emporium.Hobb Brockunier Flamingo Habitat Compote (2)

Hobbs and Brockunier Glass was located in Wheeling, West Virginia.  This piece was introduced in 1880 and was in production until 1890.

The pattern was produced through the acid etching technique.  Very smooth surface.

I really like the stem – nice and solid.  Lovely piece.
