UPDATE to this post…..As hoped, the wizards at the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum identified this tumbler in no time flat………The embarrassing part is that I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN what is is, since I have two compotes in this pattern. I guess I just wasn’t seeing the pattern because it wasn’t a compote.

My eldest has decided that she wants interesting, vintage drinking glasses, and white vintage dinnerware. I love having something to look for!
Last weekend she and I were out antiquing. I bought her this tumbler in green. She took it home with her (of course) and I was kicking myself that I hadn’t taken a photo of it.
That glass cost $9.00 in an antique shop. THIS weekend I found three of these amber tumblers in a thrift shop – for $1.00 each. Of course I bought them all.
I don’t know their history, but I have posted it online at the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum (great site) and hope someone far more knowledgeable than I will recognize it. Just can’t decide if I should spend $15.00 to mail them to her (they’re heavy). May not see her for a bit…..and everyone loves a surprise parcel, don’t they?
Last weekend I was scoping out yard sales in our neighbourhood. The lady of the household was desperate to get rid of stuff so she sold me 13 of these glasses for $1.00.
