Red Flashed Stem – “Belfor” – Bohemia Crystal

Cocktail Glass, Czechoslovakia, Red Glass

My guy went off for his weekly jaunt to the Courtice Flea Market.  He very often returns home with a piece/pieces of glass for me to consider.  Some choices are better well-received than others.  This little set of four was a success although I don’t know much about them.

Luckily the one has a label attached that reads – “Crystal Belfor Hand Made”.  The little that I can find online is that “Belfor” is attributed as Bohemia Crystal, a Czech product.

I haven’t yet come across this particular line, although I was interested in observing that the “Exquisite” line is attributed as Belfor at Replacements. I think this is a line that is often seen in my part of Ontario, but I am going to look more closely next time I run across it.

Another site I came across in my search was a site out of Edmonton – The Crystal Connection.  The vendor sells discontinued crystal and also offers an identification service with lovely photos.  Right on the home page is a piece that I am sure that I own – “Royal Diamond” by Fine Arts Crystal.  I am going to have to scout around the garage and find it.

In any event, this little glass is quite pretty. Best guess for age – 1960s-1980s.  WOuld love to have someone correct me.

This purchase of my husband’s ranks high on the ‘good decision’ rankings.

Cambridge Aurora – Cobalt Blue…….and now the Green…..and now the Carmen and Amethyst.

Cambridge Aurora Carmen Stem (2)I think the Cobalt pieces are still my favourite.  I love the rich, red blue.  However I find all of Cambridge’s colours that I have seen ‘live’ to cambridge-aurora-amethystbe very attractive.  I think I have already posted the pieces in the red separately, but thought I’d put these all together for comparison.

Here are the 4 1/4 inch cocktail glasses in Carmen (red) and Amethyst (purple). Also pretty.

Cambridge Aurora Water Goblet (1)I am enjoying the start to the New Year in sunny, beautiful Jamaica.  While I have seen my share of stemware,  none of it has been old!

But this pretty piece fits the bill.  While I never did acquire a water goblet in all of the produced colours, I picked up three of these glasses some time ago.  I looked through my book in Cambridge’s colours and think that this is their Forest Green.   A very rich shade.

Cambridge AuroraI have been ignoring my blog – shame on me.  It’s not as if I don’t have some things to show off, just been busy!

Isn’t this gorgeous????  I almost bought three of these pieces in Cambridge, Mass. I was sorry that I hadn’t bought them, so I have been looking out for them since.

The photo doesn’t show the colour to its fullest richness.  This is a beautiful, deep blue.

This pattern, 1066, was also made in clear, red, amethyst, moonlight blue, gold and green.  I like the blue the best, but it occurs to me that a set with one of each colour would be attractive too!

Update – Paden City Line #215, Glades with the Spring Orchard Etch

Acid Etch, Cocktail Glass, Decanter, Floral Etch, Reverse Etch

Paden City Spring Orchard Cocktail (4)Another little piece of Spring Orchard (etch #545).  This is the cocktail glass with a ‘trumpet’ or ‘corset’ shape.

The glass of this piece is very clear and particularly bright.  I think the pattern of this reverse acid etch is quite clear in this shot.

Paden City Spring Orchard Decanter 6This caught my eye online.  Pretty etch composed of birds and flowers.  Paden City Spring Orchard Decanter 6I have tried to show the detail with this little close up.

The etch is Spring Orchard which was made after 1935.  The Paden City company, from Paden City, West Virginia, closed in 1951.

I have seen a reference to a Cordial, Tilt Decanter in this line.  I am guessing that this is what this piece is.  It’s not a large piece – only stands 6 inches to the top of the handle and is 4 inches wide.

It is pretty.
