Anchor Hocking Royal Ruby CupsPosted these and shortly thereafter found myself in a thrift shop picking up the cups.  No saucers though.  I’ll have to keep my eyes open for those!

Anchor Hocking RUby Red Sherberts (2)I love the richness of the colour of these pieces.  I have a number of pieces of coloured glass on display in my living room.  The dark greens, red and blues add a great deal of vibrancy to my room.

Alas these pieces are closed up in a kitchen cabinet.  There’s only so much glass that I can have out on surfaces!!!!!Anchor Hocking Ruby Red Bowl (2)

These pieces are fairly easily found I think.  A vegetable bowl, flat nine ounce tumblers, and flat sherberts.  I like the sherberts in particular as they are a nice dessert sized and not too delicate to be easily broken.

Likely made in the 1950s/1960s.

Here’s a nice look at some more unusual Royal Ruby items at the Anchor Anchor Hocking Ruby Red GlassHocking Glass Museum.

Coloured Glass, Green Glass, Water Goblet

Green GobletsThis past weekend was glorious.  We took a rural ramble and headed out to Bobcaygeon, one of our rambles.

As it turned out it was Bikefest, which isn’t bicycles, as I thought when I saw the signage, but a gathering of motorcycles!  Lots of beautiful, powerful machines prowling about town.  I used to ride a bike.  Still have my motorcycle license, but it’s been a long, long time since I have piloted one.Green Goblets (2)

Anyway….some new antique stores have opened since we were last in Bobcaygeon.  I bought these pieces at Good Pickins a nice clean shop with lots of variety and very reasonable prices.

I have no idea if they were made last week, or if they are old.  They are heavy and attractive.  They look like pressed glass, but I am thinking that they are modern.  No luck with anyone identifying them yet, but I will keep looking.

I wonder if green glass is popular.  This week I have sold my Fostoria Vernon and Fostoria Spartan green pieces.  Gorgeous pieces all, especially the all green Vernon stems.

I always have minor regrets when I sell something.  They were all sitting on shelves in my office and I have enjoyed looking at them, but oh well………….new space for new treasures.  These pieces are attractive in a different way.  Not as delicate, but they have a shine to them that made them irresistible.

Unknown Green Glass Swan Needs Identifying!

Mere's Green SwanThis is the second piece I have ever posted that does not belong to me.  This lovely, green swan belongs to my mother.

Many vintage glass companies produced pretty swans.  My mom has quite a collection, including a pretty piece by Cambridge that I gave her for Christmas one year.  I have seen this piece online in the past, but not identified.  Haven’t been able to find it since.

I didn’t measure it when I took the photo, but it’s a bigger piece – likely 7-8 inches tall.  It has a very attractive shape and colour.

I know that she is not all that curious about its provenance, but I am.  So….if anyone knows this piece I would be grateful if you shared your information.
