Art Vase (2)

Update from the original June 9, 2013 post…..

I came across this article ‘Jack in the Pulpit Glass Vases‘ by David M. Issitt.  He describes, with beautiful photos, the history of these vases with shapes to imitate the Jack in the Pulpit flower.

The pattern is an old one and many well known glass companies have made vases in this shape.

This vase certainly resembles the flower and some of the examples shown.  Still don’t know who made it, but I like knowing that it is a ‘floral’ (well kind of) piece.

This isn’t a vintage piece.  In fact it is not a piece that I would likely choose for myself.  My guy bought it at an auction.  When I saw it I secretly thought that it would end up at the local thrift shop!Art Vase

However…..it has been sitting on my window sill in my kitchen.  It is bright and cheerful and I like the colours.  I look at it everyday when I wash dishes.

I will likely keep, for awhile anyway.  It’s always hard to part with a gift, isn’t it?

Unknown Pink Compote (2)There is a Facebook group called Depression & Vintage Glass ID to which I belong.  I posted this compote and someone provided the Westmoreland ID.  Great group to follow – check it out.

My guy brought this home for me.  I actually thought that it had been made in Taiwan last week.  It’s not really my ‘thing’.  I like pink glass, but not as much as the blues, greens and reds.

The Glasslover’s Database dates the production of this pattern to 1926-1930.  They also describe the Westmoreland marks.  Unknown Pink Compote

I have no idea what I have done with this piece – likely in the garage.  I’ll have to dig it out and see if it was in fact marked.

Anchor Hocking Ruby Bubble Pitcher and Old Fashioned

Bubble, Coloured Glass, Old Fashioned, Pitcher, Red Glass

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.
