Champagne, Needle Etch, Sherberts, Willow

Fostoria Willow  (2)I’d seen this etch in books but not in real life.  It’s easy to remember and when I came across four of these sherberts/champagnes, in Virginia I think, I knew what they were.

The stem is Fostoria’s #6023 – Colfax and the etch is #335.  The stem is amazingly attractive – very solid.

I’ve read that the Willow etches, made by a number of companies, were produced to match the many sets of blue and white china that were popular back in the day.  Fostoria Willow  (4)My daughter tells me that blue willow china is making a current resurgence in fact.  Even so, she doesn’t want these glasses!

I like their simplicity.

Champagne, Floral Etch, Plate Etch

Champagnes with Plate Etch (5)I celebrated Canada Day (July 1 ) in Orono trolling the antique shops.  I always enjoy visiting Champagnes with Plate Etchthe Orono Antique Market.  They have a great deal of glass, and on July 1st they had a number of etched pieces of interest.Champagnes with Plate Etch (4)

I bought these open saucer champagnes with the attractive etch.  The etch looked familiar and I thought, “Oh boy, I’ll ID these puppies!”  Turns out I have other pieces with this etch, different blank, and I’ve NEVER identified them.  Sheesh.

I like the stem.  They are very solid. with a large base.

Another entry for the unidentified etch museum!

Champagne, Floral Etch, Plate Etched, Ribbons, Swag

Unknown Plate Etch on StemI bought four of these in the Kitchener/Waterloo area (I think) in August.  I was dogsitting my grandbeagle over the long weekend yet managed to check out a few shops!  I was hoping to identify them, but no luck so far.  Perhaps I will post them on Facebook today.

In any event they are very pretty.  A nice dainty etch with flowers, ribbon and swag.  Look like open champagnes.
