Champagne, Needle Etch, Sherberts, Willow

Fostoria Willow  (2)I’d seen this etch in books but not in real life.  It’s easy to remember and when I came across four of these sherberts/champagnes, in Virginia I think, I knew what they were.

The stem is Fostoria’s #6023 – Colfax and the etch is #335.  The stem is amazingly attractive – very solid.

I’ve read that the Willow etches, made by a number of companies, were produced to match the many sets of blue and white china that were popular back in the day.  Fostoria Willow  (4)My daughter tells me that blue willow china is making a current resurgence in fact.  Even so, she doesn’t want these glasses!

I like their simplicity.

Cordials, Needle Etch

Mary Lou's glass (posted)Some time ago I posted this stem that belongs to my pal Mary Lou from Thunder Bay.  It was the sole piece left from her deceased mom.

I have never had any luck identifying the piece.  The needle etch is not particularly remarkable in any way, nor is the blank/shape.  But of course she loves it and I would like to find additional pieces to give to her.

Now I like the needle etches, but of course cannot remember if I own them already, or if they look anything like this glass.Needle Etch on Cordial

I picked up two of these stems recently, thinking that they were a match to Mary Lou’s glass.  Of course they obviously are not!

Even if the blank was different, the etch is not similar, other than it is also a needle etch.

And….then I am trolling through photos and discover that I likely have this etch in a water goblet.  Can’t recall if the blank is the same.  Likely older pieces, but not for Mary Lou.  Additions to the unknown etch museum!

Needle Etch, Sherry

Unknown Etch with Silver rim (2)Yet two more pieces for the “unknown” etch Museum.  These are pretty little things, likely sherries,  with a zig zag needle etching of bows or bows.  They have a narrow to medium optic.Unknown Etch with Silver rim (3)

I like the fact that the silver rim is also etched.  I am not generally a fan of silver or gold rims, but the etching finishes it off nicely.

Likely never find out who made these, but they are pretty.
