This beautiful candy box and cover is Cambridge’s line #3500/57.  The colour is an opaque pale pink, Cambridge’s Crown Tuscan. The hand painted decoration was created by Abels, Wasserberg and Company (AWC) and is part of their Charleton line. The decoration is called Roses and Bows (I think).

Learning about AWC was new for me.  I always thought that the company itself was called Charleton.  I see that there are a couple reference books about the company, but I don’t collect enough examples of their work to buy a text.

The hand painted details and the gilt are still in amazing shape.

The AWC label is present on the bottom on the piece. I imagine the label might identify the production year, but I do not know what the numbers signify.  This is where the text would come in handy!

My love affair with center handle servers lives on.  I have an alarming number of these pieces and rarely, rarely use them.  They are a pain to store as you can’t stack them.  But…..this piece was too pretty to pass by.

I don’t know its age so am unsure if it is Peach-Blo or Dianthus Pink.  My only definite piece of Peach-Blo isn’t as ‘pink’ as this piece, it’s more peachy.  I will have to get off my lazy posterior and find an age for this server.

Sometimes glass identification is just a case of serendipity.  I picked up these two tumblers awhile back and had no luck identifying them.  I do not have alot of Depression glass resources, but turned to Warman and couldn’t find the pattern.

One day I was looking at something online and thought, “Hmmmm….this looks familiar!”  Luckily the tumblers were on a shelf right above my head, as opposed to being packed away and sure enough they were the same.  Pulled out my Warman again and sure enough there they were.

The pattern is called Royal Lace and is comprised of delicate flowers and medallions.

This is a piece of Depression era glass, with a manufacturing date range of 1934 – 1941.
