Unknown Pink Bowl (2)My guy brought this home for me.  I guess it is attractive inits own way, but it doesn’t do a thing for me.

I don’t know if it is old or not.  I posted it on a Facebook site that I belong to and asked if it was recognized.  Someone suggested that it was made by Walther Glass of Germany and was a pattern called Belvedere.Unknown Pink Bowl (3)

I found the Belvedere pattern, but it doesn’t look to be a match.  In the absence of much response I think it is likely relatively modern.  Although there are some nice details, I think it will find a home at the local thrift shop, or with a neighbour who likes pink glass.

Cambridge Cigarette Holder (1)Although cigarette smoking is considered unattractive by many people (including myself) I can remember a time when I was young when it was completely acceptable.

People had various containers for their cigarettes.  No one I knew had really fancy ones, like this one, but I can visualize this standing in someone’s house with cigarettes standing up in it.

This piece was made by Cambridge Glass.  It is from line #1337.  It is Cambridge’s Gold Krystol colour.

It could be used as a little vase.

I like the twist in the stem and the way the base turns up.

Cambridge Apple Blossom (1)Look at these very pretty goblets made by the Cambridge Glass Company.  These glasses are etched with the Apple Blossom plate etch (#744). The shape is line #3130.

The entire glass is shaded in Cambridge’s pale yellow which was called Gold Krystol.  It is a delicate shade.

I think these stems would compliment blue china with yellow and gold details.
