Blue Glass, Coloured Glass, Depression, Hobnail, Vase

Blue Blue My World is Blue.  Isn’t Johnny Mathis great?

Unknown Blue Hobnail (1)Anyway my hubby picked up this pretty blue vase at a local flea market.  He was told that it was Nova Scotia glass.  I have to admit that I was doubtful.

As it turns out it was identified on the wonderful Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum.  it is a ’30s piece of Fenton.  I was told that it was originally a bowl from line #844 which was swung and hand shaped into this vase, line #847.IMG_4894

The colours and opalescence are  very pretty, even if it WAS made in West Virginia and not Nova Scotia!

Blue Glass, Bowls, Coloured Glass, Tumblers

IMG_3588Hard to believe that it has already been two years since this happened.  Where does the time go?

As it turns out I had a nice visit with my daughter last month.  She served some snacks and I noticed that she used her blue bowl and some blue and white Pyrex plates that I had bought for her some time ago.  In fact…I think they were my very first Etsy purchase!  History in the making.

Anyway….when we were rummaging around shops in Florida I came across these little Pyrex bowls, made by Corning.  They seem to be the match for the plates I got her, so I had to pick them up.  They are small…only 5 1/2 inches in diameter.  I imagine that they are ‘berry bowls’.

I actually dragged them out (haven’t gotten them to her yet) last weekend and used them on the table with my own ‘blue’ bowls.  They are a great size for dips, flavoured butters and odds and sods!

If she doesn’t like them, they won’t be hard to keep.

Original Post – April 5, 2013

010My eldest daughter asked me to buy her white and turquoise Pyrex dishes a couple years ago.  Last Christmas she asked for blue Le Creuset mugs.  While I am not a trained investigator, I discerned a pattern.  So….I have been picking up various blue and white pieces for her.

My son was home for a quick Easter visit and I got him to take these pieces up to his sister.  I liked the colours so I thought I’d snap this photo.  The two Libbey glasses and the Pyrex bowls.

My son brings back my car tomorrow.  We will be en route to Cuba, so I won’t know for a week if he has brought back any, or all, of these pieces.

Hazel Atlas Sportsmen Series – Dogs

Animals in Glass, Barware, Blue Glass, Cobalt, Color, Dogs, Sportsmen Series, Tumblers

Hazel Atlas Sportsmen Series - DogsI picked this up at Around the Block in Toronto.  Anyone local should visit this great antiques consignment store.

This is a very interesting, and I think unique, set.  It is made of multiple pieces – the tumblers, swizzle sticks, ice bowl, tongs and the stand.  All in pristine condition and likely produced in the ’30s.

Hazel Atlas made barware with various decorations.  I don’t know why this is called the “Sportsmen” series.  Maybe dog walking was considered a sport.  Maybe sportsmen drink out of cobalt tumblers.   Who knows.

I posted it online and someone with more expertise than I suggested that this might have been a special order, or fantasy piece.

I love the deep blue, and of course, the dogs!
