This is, I believe, a Depression era bowl. It is small with a very pretty shape. Don’t know what it’s purpose was intended to be. I don’t generally collect serving pieces and I don’t remember why I bought this one. Likely an inexpensive find somewhere. I don’t own any other pieces of Standard Glass (as far as I know). I do like the base of this bowl.

This is the base of a decanter. I have three sherberts with the same etch. I have to admit that I am not that fussy on it. I have searched to identify this thing, with no luck. I am guessing that it is an import and not all that old. Yet again, if anyone knows anything about this pattern – please share!

This pretty pattern is called Indian Tree. Don’t know why. I have a water goblet in the etch that my sister-in-law Mary-belle gave me for my birthday one year. Her wonderful mother was my glasspiration (ha ha) and I very much appreciated the continued family support. I don’t use these – bought to resell some day. I also collect china creamers and sugars and have quite a number of other sets that I don’t use! That’s a whole other blog.
