Was up in St. Jacobs at the St. Jacobs Antique Market a couple weekends ago and came across a quartet of these pretty stems.  They are 3 ounce wine glasses.

The etch is #279 – June and the line is #5098 (patented in 1928).  A copy of the patent is available for review in the gallery of the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum.

The depth of the etch is interesting.  Three of the glasses are lightly etched and the fourth shows much heavier etching.  I have tried to show this in the images.  The larger photo has the lighter etching. 

Such a pretty yellow.

I had the sugar at one point but sold it.  June is a very pretty etch.  This is in pink and it comes in blue, two yellows and clear as well.  This etch is similar to another of Fostoria’s patterns – Romance.  I gather that the pink and blue are the most popular colours for collectors.  This is the only piece I have of this etch.  Pretty, very romantic.

Adams and Company ‘Cottage’ Creamer

I don’t usually pick up EAPG pieces but I was taken by the hands.  I thought they were pretty cool.

Given the hands, it wasn’t too difficult to track down the provenance of this creamer.

From the website of the Early American Pattern Glass Society I learned that this piece was made by Adams & Company  of Pittsburgh which operated from 1861-1891.  This line was introduced in 1887.

While ‘Cottage’ is the original name, the line is also known by: ‘Dinner Bell’; and, ‘Fine Cut Band’.

Given that this piece is more than 120 years old I am astonished by its condition.  No chips or nicks – just some surface scratching.

This is such a pretty set.  The cutting is lovely – I don’t think the photos do it justice.  I posted the set online somewhere and asked if anyone knew anything about the decoration.  Someone suggested that it could be a Hawkes’ cutting.

Here is an interesting online article about  T. G. Hawkes & Company by The House of Brilliant Glass.

The design by Thomas Clarence Heisey was patented in 1912.  The patent is shown in the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum.
