This piece reminds me, in a non-gross way, of the gross shots of the Alien in the Alien film series. There are some shots of rib like waves that are obviously some part of the Aliens’ bodies.
Having said that…this is a pretty piece. I’ve had it for awhile and just got around to photographing it.
I think there are a number of companies that may have made this piece. It is not marked. I suspect it was made in the fifties or sixties.
Pretty sure I’ll never identify it.

Some time ago I bought, and subsequently sold, a Jeannette Glass Marigold Powder jar with a Poodle finial. I have kinda, maybe, perhaps, regretted the sale. I decided that instead, I had to have a jar with the scottie finial to match my Heisey terrier figurine. I’m not as fussy on the deer pieces. I’ve been looking for awhile. They are common online, but the shipping has always been too costly.
I found this piece in Pickering at the Antique Mart. I blinked at the price. It wasn’t particularly costly, but I fall into the trap of….I can get it cheaper online! Then I shook my head, said some words about my illogical state of mind and bought the thing!
This will be a keeper, for awhile at least. I have new shelving being installed in my home office tomorrow and I intend to display some of my favourite coloured pieces on my new shelves! Now I just have to decide about buying (and keeping) another poodle or the pink scottie!

Ain’t this sweet? I like the looks of these Cambridge pieces. I used to have a Crown Tuscan Seashell Compote and have looked at others.
I bought a few others with different colour bowls, but they haven’t arrived yet.
The following information is from the book – Colors in Cambridge Glass II by National Cambridge Collectors, Inc.: 
“Also known as the 3011 line, Lady Figure Line and “The Cambridge Nudes,” this line, or at least parts of it, was produced from 1931 until the second company ceased operations.” My note – I think this was in 1958.
The pieces were made in a number of different shapes and and in a wide variety of colours. Some 
of the pieces are quit expensive, so if you have any in your attic, take care of them!
This is a very interesting article, with lots of gorgeous photos – Cambridge 3011 Statuesque Nude Stems.
