Hobnail, Vase

019Aren’t these pretty?  They look great when the sun shines through them.  I don’t know if they are Fenton or Westmoreland or made in Taiwan (although I doubt that).

The two aren’t the same colour although I bought them at the same thrift shop, so they were likely donated together.  I don’t know if you can tell from the photo, but one is more red and the other has more of a reddish brown colour.  I don’t think either would be considered as amberina as there isn’t much orange to either piece.

I’ve not seen anything quite like them – the shape is unusual.  I’d love to hear from anyone who can ID these pieces.  I’ve has them up on a Facebook page for an ID, but no luck so far.

Hobnail, Opalescent, Vaseline

Found out today that this is a double crimped 3 inch vase and the colour is Colonial Green

Original post – February 21, 2013

I have had a few of these mini vases in various colours and finishes.  I was pleased when one of my daughters asked to have a blue with opalescence piece.

My guy is away for a weekend hockey tournament so I thought I’d visit some thrift shops.

Even though I have, and may still own this piece, for a small investment I thought it worth picking up in this colour.

Hobnail, Jardiniere, Plant Pot

Hobnail plant potI was hesitant about picking this up as I don’t think it is particularly unique – not milkglass.  It just doesn’t have that je ne sais quoi character.  No markings, so I don’t even know if it was an E.O. Brody florist’s container.

But it was fifty cents and I thought that it wasn’t a hideous amount to spend at a charitable thrift shop.  I might just take it into work and see if someone wants it.  I have two plants, both two big for this pot, and I have no intention of adding to the biome of our house!
