I picked up a number of pieces with this etch on the weekend at an auction. I got these items, a relish dish and a footed cake salver. I was bidding on a large bowl, but let it get away from me. Took awhile to identify, although I read that this is one of Cambridge’s most popular patterns. It’s very pretty, with wee, little dainty flowers.

I bought a number of these Depression pieces at an auction. They are irridescent. Solid, sherbert, dessert stems. I like the way the colour shimmers, but I have to admit that they don’t move me. Nonetheless, the fact that they have survived for 70+ years is most impressive. I likely will put these up for sale (some day).

I only have one of these stems. Pretty etch. I have no recall as to where it was purchased, and I’ve never seen the etch elsewhere. This one now has a significant chip in its base. It got banged about after being used. As much as you hate to see a glass damaged, its kind of like a new car – you can relax once the first scratch appears.
