Picked this sherbert up in Fort Erie last weekend. Although pressed glass is not my ‘thing’ I thought it interesting. 
The pattern has cupids hunting and boating.
Interesting little piece.

I picked up this one pretty stem in Waterloo. There were two , but one was chipped and I am no longer, knowingly, buying any damaged pieces. (Sometimes I miss something and it drives me crazy!)
The experts at the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum identified this lovely piece for me. I thought I had seen it in one of my books, but no luck and I don’t have much on Morgantown. I have very few Morgantown pieces any more.
It is a very pretty floral etch and the amber stem and foot are most attractive.

Update to my original post of April 22, 2012…
Don’t know why I was confused about the pattern. This piece, and the piece below are definitely Florentine No. 2 (a/k/a Poppy No. 2). They were produced by Hazel-Atlas between 1932-1935.
Picked this yellow sherbert up at a nearby thrift shop recently. Hard to tell from the photo, but the colour is very ‘citrusy’ yellow.

I don’t know if this is Florentine number one or two. But it’s definitely Florentine. It’s a cute little thing. If you put your dessert in this sized glass you wouldn’t have to worry about eating too much Hagen Daas! I picked this up because I don’t have any pieces in the clear. Oddly enough I’d never seen the clear. Always interesting to see pieces in the proverbial flesh.
