Blue Blue My World is Blue.  Isn’t Johnny Mathis great?

Unknown Blue Hobnail (1)Anyway my hubby picked up this pretty blue vase at a local flea market.  He was told that it was Nova Scotia glass.  I have to admit that I was doubtful.

As it turns out it was identified on the wonderful Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum.  it is a ’30s piece of Fenton.  I was told that it was originally a bowl from line #844 which was swung and hand shaped into this vase, line #847.IMG_4894

The colours and opalescence are  very pretty, even if it WAS made in West Virginia and not Nova Scotia!

Bowl, Coloured Glass, Green Glass, Satin Glass

IMG_4589I bought this bowl at the same time and place that I bought the green Tiffin server of a few posts ago.  Someone must have been dispersing a former collection.

I haven’t been able to identify the line number, but I saw the same bowl, on ebay, with a Tiffin label.  The other bowl was satin black.  I think, but don’t know for sure, that this is Tiffin’s Emerald green.

Pretty little thing.IMG_4588

Tiffin server (5)Been a long time since I have added to this blog.  Not for the lack of new pieces to add.  I have acquired a number of items over the last little while.  However I have to admit that I am slowing down.  Getting to a stage where I must unload more!!!!  Plus the Canadian dollar is so weak compared to the US greenback that you just can’t buy anything from the US.  This of course is a shame as there is always something really cool to acquire from somewhere in America.

Anyway….my guy and I went on a hot, sweaty rural ramble this past Sunday.  Although it is a bit cooler today, this part of Ontario has been enjoying the heat and humidity for the last couple weeks.  I don’t mind – it will be November all too soon!

In any event we went up to Bobcaygeon and Fenelon Falls.  Stopped at Grr8 Finds and picked up this Emerald center satin server.

I now have several of these servers.  I don’t ‘serve’ anything hardly worth eating.  No sweets or little dainty sandwiches.  Nonetheless these pieces interest me.  Such a variety of handle shapes and plate shapes, colours and of course sizes.
