Sherbert

Unknown Sherbert with Pretty StemI took half a day vacation on Friday and decided to make a Value Village run before I headed home.  I saw four of these sherberts and after resisting them during an earlier visit, cracked and acquired.

I’ve made a pact with myself NOT to buy anything that isn’t either easily identifiable or isn’t etched.  These are neither – at least, not easily identified by me.

But………They have a beautifully shaped bowl, with delicate glass, are pristine, look to be great quality, and are just so darned appealing.  I don’t think the photo does the stem justice.

Perhaps the detail on the stem will some day lead to a provenance.  But for now…..they are stuck on a shelf being admired.

Fostoria Amber/Topaz 5099/5299 High Sherbert or Champagne

Champagne, Depression, Sherbert

We went to the Santa Claus Parade yesterday and afterwards wandered around the shops.  The local St. Vincent de Paul shop had four of these stems for sale.  I knew I had seen the stems in a book so thought I’d pick them up.

Turns out that they are a Fostoria blank – #5099/5299.  I am guessing that the 5099 represents the blanks with an optic and the 5299 items have no optic.  If this is accurate (and this is a wild guess) then my glasses are 5099. Replacements.com dates this stem as 1929-1936.

The colour is very pretty.

Sherbert, Thistle

This is a neat little stem (yet another dessert/sherbert).  I’ve looked and looked for this image, with no luck.  It has a very fine thistle etch.  There are a number of thistle etches, but this poor glass may just be a number.  This is an appealing stem.  Has a pretty shape, the rim has a ripple and it has a pretty ring.  Another ‘masculine’ etch.
