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.

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!
