Cristal D'Arque - Rosaline (1)You see these swirling pink glasses, bowls, plates, tumblers, etc. frequently.  My husband picked up a number of these pieces at a going-out-of-business sale.  This is the 3 7/8 inch cordial.

According to an entry on Wikipedia, Cristal d’Arques is a brand of Arc International, a privately held, by the Durand family, company in France.  According to the article, Arc international is the leading international manufacturer of glass and crystal.  Other frequently seen brands include Luminarc and Arcoroc.

I don’t believe that this pattern is in production any longer, and I am guessing this stem has a 1970s/1980s date.

IMG_4638Isn’t this just great????  I had the most wonderful time at Harvest Antiques this weekend.  I bought a number of different pieces that you normally don’t see in our neck of the woods.  Some pretty cool stuff!!!

This is a piece from Portieux Vallerysthal.  Monkey on elephant.  Older piece.  Comes in a number of different colours/treatments.  First time I have seen this ‘live’.  Couldn’t resist – it makes me smile each time I see it.
