green-etched-compoteIsn’t this a pretty colour?  A very deep, rich green.  I don’t know if it has a more descriptive name for this particular tint.

I don’t know the name of the etch.  I have to take a clearer photo of it and repost on the  Elegant & Everyday Glass Forum.

According to my only book on Central – Central Glass Works: the Depression Era by Tim Schmidt – line 2005 came in many pieces of tableware and in many colours. Rose, amber, orchid tints and crystal, and gold encrusted are examples.green-etched-compote2

This piece is 7 inches across and stands six inches.  The stem has nine lobes and it was moulded in three pieces.

Central Glass closed its doors in 1939, so the piece predates this time and according to Mr. Schmidt was observed in a 1928 catalog.

Cambridge Aurora – Cobalt Blue…….and now the Green…..and now the Carmen and Amethyst.

Cambridge Aurora Carmen Stem (2)I think the Cobalt pieces are still my favourite.  I love the rich, red blue.  However I find all of Cambridge’s colours that I have seen ‘live’ to cambridge-aurora-amethystbe very attractive.  I think I have already posted the pieces in the red separately, but thought I’d put these all together for comparison.

Here are the 4 1/4 inch cocktail glasses in Carmen (red) and Amethyst (purple). Also pretty.

Cambridge Aurora Water Goblet (1)I am enjoying the start to the New Year in sunny, beautiful Jamaica.  While I have seen my share of stemware,  none of it has been old!

But this pretty piece fits the bill.  While I never did acquire a water goblet in all of the produced colours, I picked up three of these glasses some time ago.  I looked through my book in Cambridge’s colours and think that this is their Forest Green.   A very rich shade.

Cambridge AuroraI have been ignoring my blog – shame on me.  It’s not as if I don’t have some things to show off, just been busy!

Isn’t this gorgeous????  I almost bought three of these pieces in Cambridge, Mass. I was sorry that I hadn’t bought them, so I have been looking out for them since.

The photo doesn’t show the colour to its fullest richness.  This is a beautiful, deep blue.

This pattern, 1066, was also made in clear, red, amethyst, moonlight blue, gold and green.  I like the blue the best, but it occurs to me that a set with one of each colour would be attractive too!

I still think that the flowers look more like sunflowers than lilies.

Indiana Glass - Lily Pons - Ruby (4)

 

Indiana Glass - Lily Pons - Ruby (5)

I had not seen this flashed on Ruby colour in the past.  The colour is sprayed on to the amber bowl.  It is very vibrant.  I was lucky, the colour is virtually intact.

Indiana Glass Lily PonsUpdate from my original May 11, 2012 posting.  Oddly enough I purchased a piece of this in milk glass yesterday and one today, in two different towns.  It spurred me on to try to further identify this piece.  Turns out is WAS made by Indiana Glass and is called Lily Pons.

This is what Carnival Heaven has to say about the pattern…

“Lily Pons is Indiana Glass Pattern Number 605. It was first introduced in 1930 and reproduced many times over the years. The original Lily Pon was made in crystal, green and pink, the usual depression glass colors. The reproductions were made in olive green, amber, milk glass, ruby flash glass and gold carnival glass.

So…these pieces were made in the 1960s & 1970s.  Have a look at the Carnival Heaven site for photos of the originals.

My long suffering partner supports my glass collecting habits.  When he is out and about he is often looking for a deal for me, even though he is not as familiar with glass pieces as I might be.

He recently brought home this bowl.  My first reaction was “hmmmm…” not quite my thing.  I suggested that we give it away to someone in the family who thought it was pretty.

But, lo and behold we were out and about visiting various antique shops when, over the course, of a day I came across this bowl twice, I think.

So…..I looked at it again.  It is very pretty. Shiny iridescent colours.  Flower petals make up the shape.  I saw this on ebay and it was cited to be a piece of Indiana Glass or Northwood.  No idea, can’t find a mark.

Now, although it is still not my thing, I will likely hang on to it for a bit and not pass judgment quite so quickly.
