Floral

I only have one of these stems.  Likely a claret or some such purpose.   I think my partner bought it for me.  If so, it was cheap!  Kind of a miracle as I had always thought he paid no attention to the bazillions of glasses that fill all corners of our house!  I’ve played around with the colour and contrast of the photos in order to show the detail of the etch.  Very intricate.  The cross thatching (for lack of a better word) reminds me of that of Fostoria’s Melrose, but it is not Melrose.  I also like the stem.

Bows, Floral

I have a theory that the reason you can find sherberts/desserts easily is that no one used them!  They are so small that you can’t fit a decent amount of dessert into them.  This little stem is pretty with a dainty, unknown, pattern.  Needs identifying!  I wish I could remember where I got this.  I don’t know why I like remembering.  Part of the fun I guess of acquiring.  Looking at this photo…..I realize that I have to do a better job of dusting my glasses BEFORE photographing them!

Depression, Floral

The glasses hold 8 ounces and the pitcher holds 56 ounces (I think).  Can’t say that I have actually measured their volumetric capacities.  Very technical language, n’est-ce pas?  These are pretty common pieces, see them all over the place, although this was the first time I had seen glasses and a pitcher together.  I bought them at an auction in Orono for a pretty reasonable price.  Used them for Christmas O.J., but the glasses are hard to get your hand into because they are narrow.  These are Depression pieces.  Depression glass, although old, is still readily available as many pieces were very solid, unlike some of the finer crystal.  This comes in other colours as well, but I don’t think that the coloured pieces are as commonly seen.
