Last update – October 4, 2012

Still updating my Indiana Glass.  I have found out, from Ms. Adler, that this pattern is also called Flower and Leaf Band.  It was introduced in 1933 in the off white French Ivory and reissued in the ’50s in white milkglass.  It was then called Orange Blossom.  It is Indiana’s pattern 239.

My lovely, now 28 year old, daughter bought me a copy of Warman’s Depression Glass Field Guide – 3rd edition.  I don’t ordinarily seek out pieces of Depression glass, but upon leafing through the book I was taken with these pieces and decided to order them.  Got them on ebay.  They didn’t disappoint.

This is what the guide has to say – “Manufactured by Indiana Glass Company, Dunkirk, Indiana, in the 1930s and in the 1950s.  Made in custard colour, known as French Ivory.”  The colour is very subtle and I hope it can be picked up in the photo.

There are a number of other pieces.  By the value in the guide, it looks like the sherberts must be the rarest.  They seem to be worth the most.  I think I will be happy with just these pieces to add to my sugar/creamer collection.  But….if I came across them at a good price……..never say never!

Candle Holder, Daisy and Buttons, Milkglass

Daisy and Buttons candle holderI was visiting my mom one day and noticed that she was using this little candle holder as a door stop.  Being a mom, she made me take it once I expressed interest in looking at it.

It is a neat little thing.  No idea who made it.  I’ve seen it attributed, on ebay, to Fenton and L.E. Smith, but have no proof to indicate provenance.

It originally would have had a metal handle on it.  This would have given a cauldron look.  Apparently it comes in a number of non-milkglass colours including blue and amber.

You know how you look at something every day and kind of appreciate it….but if you really look at it, you realize how utterly appealing it is to you?

Well…..this is how I feel about this egg cup.  It sits on the window sill of my home office, which is really my tv room, glasstorium and all around messy place to hang out.

Every morning I come into my office upon awakening.  I check my email, send email and check a variety of other sites.  At this time of the year I have to turn on the lights.  Imperial Glass Milkglass Rooster Egg cupOn my window sill are a few things that I haven’t put away somewhere…or…that I just enjoy seeing.  This is one of the ‘enjoyable’ items.  It is signed with Imperial’s <IG> mark.

I can’t remember where I bought this, although I think it was on a trip home to Fort Erie.

Don’t know why it appeals to me, but it does, even though I own far more gorgeous items.  I do have to wonder about the eggs that are supposed to fit in this cup.  It is a huge space.  I think the suitable eggs are somewhere between a goose egg and that of an ostrich!
