Pink Corn Flower Bowl (2)When the weather is nice, the garden beckons.  It is hard to want to stay in and take photos of pieces of glass, regardless of their beauty.  It rained today so I am trying to get caught up a bit.

A two week road trip only resulted in two purchases of glass.  You just don’t see the pieces that I was seeking in Canada.  Lots of beautiful furniture in Quebec and the Maritimes and lots of pressed Canadian glass, but not much of the American plate etched pieces that I admire.

I bought this pretty comport in Toronto awhile back.  It is featured in Walter T. Lemiski’s book – Elegant Glass with Corn Flower (page 56).  It is the 8 1/2 inch comport and stands 4 5/8 inches tall.  No idea which company made the blank.  If anyone knows – please share!

Heisey Old Colony Sahara (3)These two photos illustrate Heisey’s Old Dominion blank/shape – #3390.

The first stem is in Heisey’s yellow shade called Sahara.  It has been etched with the Old Colony pattern – #448.

The bowls of both have a diamond optic., as seen more closely below.

The second stem has no etch on its clear bowl.  The stem is shaded in Heisey’s green called Moongleam.Heisey Old Dominion (2)

These are very pretty glasses, produced in the 1930s.

Even though they are the same shape and size, the colour and etching make them look very different.

Original post – May 10, 2012

I have to correct an earlier posting.  When I posted these glasses in January I referred to them as Boopies.  I was recentlyreading about Berwick, or Boopies, when I realized that the foot was not in fact a Boopie foot.  These glasses are Bubble Feet, official name – Early American.  Still pretty, and still by Anchor Hocking.

This explains my earlier confusion about the rounded shape.  The Boopie is more angular and I couldn’t figure out the more rounded shape.  You’d think I would have been more curious and investigated further!  But no.  According to replacements.com this is the liquor cocktail.  Always good to learn something new!!
