Cristal D'Arque - Rosaline (1)You see these swirling pink glasses, bowls, plates, tumblers, etc. frequently.  My husband picked up a number of these pieces at a going-out-of-business sale.  This is the 3 7/8 inch cordial.

According to an entry on Wikipedia, Cristal d’Arques is a brand of Arc International, a privately held, by the Durand family, company in France.  According to the article, Arc international is the leading international manufacturer of glass and crystal.  Other frequently seen brands include Luminarc and Arcoroc.

I don’t believe that this pattern is in production any longer, and I am guessing this stem has a 1970s/1980s date.

Tiffin Rosemary (1)This seven inch bowl is a pretty green.  It is vaseline glass, and glows quite brilliantly under black light.  Of course, who has black light in their house all the time?

The plate etch showcases some large flowers.

The Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum has a photo of a pink bowl with this etch and refers to it as line 310-1/2.  The legs on this piece are different so I don’t know if it is the same line.Tiffin Rosemary (2)

The green is very pretty.

Spike Powder Jar (2)Powder jars have come and gone from my household.  But Spike has hung around for awhile now.  Don’t know if it is the “cheery” 🙁 look on his face, or the pretty green colour.

This is a smaller jar with a width of 4 1/2 inches.  But…it is a solid 5 inches tall to the top of Spike’s head.

There is another L.E. Smith dog powder jar with the bulldog sitting, but I like this guy.
