Anchor Hocking Bubble PithcerIsn’t this glorious?  The photo doesn’t do thee pieces justice.  Such a deep, rich red.  Absolutely beautiful.

I spent three nights dog sitting my grandbeagle.  My daughter lives in Waterloo and I thought I’d take the opportunity to go to three fab antique malls in St. Jacobs and Cambridge.  I saw this pitcher in one of them, but the price was more than I was willing to pay.  The glasses were in the same mall.

I thought about this pitcher all evening, but knew I was going elsewhere the next day.  I thought I might find something else to spend my money on.  Lo and behold, I saw THE pitcher at a lower, and acceptable cost, of about 65% cheaper than the original.  No second thoughts.  I scooped this up and had it put away for me on a shelf.

Of course, I had to return to the first store to buy the glasses.  But it was worth it.  This morning we had juice in them.  I swear the juice (carrot) tasted better in these pretty Old Fashioned (no alcohol).  Of course it doesn’t take alot to make carrot juice taste better!

I didn’t buy alot, but I will pass along links to these antique stores.  I try to visit each when I am in the area.  Note that the last one ONLY takes cash and there’s no ATM on site.

Cambridge Etched/Engraved Butterfly Tankard Updated

Butterflies, Pitcher

Update to the original October 16, 2012 posting.

Butterfly Glass 1When I originally posted this piece I identified it as an unknown pitcher.  I have recently found out, with advice from the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum, that this is a tankard #95 and that it was made by Cambridge Glass.  The etch/engraving has not been identified.

I don’t know what the difference between a tankard and a pitcher is, but I am guessing that it’s size.  This piece only holds 18 fluid ounces, which is pretty small.  Which, in my mind makes it surprising to find 6 glasses with it.  Of course they are small too and likely only hold 3 ounces.  I’ll have to measure.  I didn’t have a photo of the glasses with the initial posting, so thought I’d add this one.

Check out the Miami Valley Study Group if you are interested in the surprisingly large number of tankard variations  made by Cambridge, or just Cambridge pieces at all.  They have a wealth of information at this site.

It would be nice to identify the decoration!

—————————————————————————————-

Butterfly Picther 2Despite the fact that I have posted butterflies twice within the last few days, and I have a Heisey basket with butterflies, I am NOT starting a collection!  Strictly coincidence.

However it was the thought of the Heisey piece that made me buy this pitcher and glasses (not shown).  I can’t even remember where I got the pieces and it wasn’t even that long ago.  I saw it and wondered if it matched the Heisey etch.  It wasn’t signed, but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything.  In any event I brought it home.

The butterflies are very similar, but not the same.  I haven’t yet identified the piece.  The pitcher is small.  But obviously meant for some beverage since it is matched with tiny juice glasses.

Pretty.  I’ll keep looking for the ID.

Pitcher

My guy picked this piece up at a thrift shop.  It has weight to it and a nice brilliance.  I thought it would be signed, but alas I haven’t been able to find any marking.

I have no idea where to look for an ID, but will keep my eyes peeled.

A nice size for maple syrup!
