I saw this pattern in books only for the longest while.  During the summer of 2011 we were driving back from Cape Cod and of course stopping in every antique shop/mall we passed.  I found this plate and some stems, champagnes I think, which I later sold.  I thought that this would be the pattern I’d collect and keep for myself, but alas…’twasn’t meant to be.  If you look at the etch closely you can see a variety of flowers.  It’s very pretty and likely I should honour it and use the danged thing!

Unknown etch – somewhat resembles Fostoria Springtime

I thought I had identified this little dish as Fostoria’s Springtime.  But I don’t think it is.  Similar features, but not quite on.  Bought this little thing for $2.00 somewhere in the U.S. I think.  We have spent three summer vacations travelling to and fro’ Boston/Cape Cod.  Lots of places to ramble for antiques.  If anyone knows this etch I’d be happy to find out the name.

Duncan & Miller First Love

This is a liquor cocktail glass with an etch called First Love.  The maker was Duncan & Miller from Pennsylvania.  The etch was in production from 1935-1955.  I have stared at this a bazillion times and have tried to figure out what the pattern has to do with one’s first sweetheart.  The stem is interesting, but actually too ornate for my liking.  I don’t think I have any other Duncan & Miller stems.  Don’t know why.  Check out The National Duncan Glass Society at www.duncanmiller.net if this stem appeals to you.
