IMG_3588Hard to believe that it has already been two years since this happened.  Where does the time go?

As it turns out I had a nice visit with my daughter last month.  She served some snacks and I noticed that she used her blue bowl and some blue and white Pyrex plates that I had bought for her some time ago.  In fact…I think they were my very first Etsy purchase!  History in the making.

Anyway….when we were rummaging around shops in Florida I came across these little Pyrex bowls, made by Corning.  They seem to be the match for the plates I got her, so I had to pick them up.  They are small…only 5 1/2 inches in diameter.  I imagine that they are ‘berry bowls’.

I actually dragged them out (haven’t gotten them to her yet) last weekend and used them on the table with my own ‘blue’ bowls.  They are a great size for dips, flavoured butters and odds and sods!

If she doesn’t like them, they won’t be hard to keep.

010My eldest daughter asked me to buy her white and turquoise Pyrex dishes a couple years ago.  Last Christmas she asked for blue Le Creuset mugs.  While I am not a trained investigator, I discerned a pattern.  So….I have been picking up various blue and white pieces for her.

My son was home for a quick Easter visit and I got him to take these pieces up to his sister.  I liked the colours so I thought I’d snap this photo.  The two Libbey glasses and the Pyrex bowls.

My son brings back my car tomorrow.  We will be en route to Cuba, so I won’t know for a week if he has brought back any, or all, of these pieces.

Hazel Atlas Sportsmen Series – Dogs

Hazel Atlas Sportsmen Series - DogsI picked this up at Around the Block in Toronto.  Anyone local should visit this great antiques consignment store.

This is a very interesting, and I think unique, set.  It is made of multiple pieces – the tumblers, swizzle sticks, ice bowl, tongs and the stand.  All in pristine condition and likely produced in the ’30s.

Hazel Atlas made barware with various decorations.  I don’t know why this is called the “Sportsmen” series.  Maybe dog walking was considered a sport.  Maybe sportsmen drink out of cobalt tumblers.   Who knows.

I posted it online and someone with more expertise than I suggested that this might have been a special order, or fantasy piece.

I love the deep blue, and of course, the dogs!

Corn Flower Tumblers (2)I don’t know why I keep picking up pieces of Corn Flower….but I do.  I don’t know who made these tumblers, but they join my collection.

001I am always excited to find one of my pieces in a book.  If it’s in a book it must be true!  (saith the old fashioned librarian) Tee hee.

These pieces are very common – see them all over the place!  Crimped edge bud vase.  This was cut by the Hughes Company.  Krista Taylor – Canadian Identification & Price Guide to W.J. Hughes Corn Flower (neat book) – indicates that the blanks were produced by the Louie Glass Company and West Virginia Glass.  Her sources were a 1951 company catalogue and a 1981 catalogue.

In 1951 the vase cost $1.00.  In 1981 the price was $7.50.  I can’t recall what I paid for it!
