Antiquing with my beautiful daughter

Coloured Glass, Yellow Glass

021This past weekend was a long weekend in Canada.  One of my lovely daughters (and my grandbeagle)  came to visit and we spent some time in Orono, where they were having an antique sidewalk sale.

I bought her a green tumbler with a thumbprint pressed pattern.  What was I thinking????  I didn’t get a photo of it!  I will have to ask her for one.

I actually didn’t buy one thing, surprisingly.  There was a beautiful pitcher with a pheasant etch….but it was damaged and I decided that I would ultimately be unhappy with the damage.022

But in our travels I picked up this piece at a church thrift shop.  I have no idea if it is old.  It is fragile, the glass is thin.  I was taken with the vibrant colour and the swirl pattern.  The photo doesn’t do the piece justice as you can’t see the variation in colour.  It is yellow with a lime tint.

Interesting!

Unknown Pink Compote (2)This is the last of my guy’s recent auction buys.  Well….at least the last of the glass pieces!

I have no idea if this is old.  I’m tending to lean to not particularly old. Unknown Pink Compote I don’t know if it is really pressed or not.  I’m just going to have to keep my eyes open for an identical twin and see if it is identified.

Amber Glass, Candle Holder, Coloured Glass, Pressed Glass

Amber Candle HolderI bought this in the U.S. last weekend at a thrift shop.  It was shelved alongside two amber candle stick holders that look like a button and daisy pattern.  Thought it was the same, but it is not.

Pretty.  I think it’s a candle holder – large ring in middle to steady a large round candle.

I haven’t been able to ID it, but I am hoping that it doesn’t prove to be too difficult.
