001Update to my original post of April 22, 2012…

Don’t know why I was confused about the pattern.  This piece, and the piece below are definitely Florentine No. 2 (a/k/a Poppy No. 2).  They were produced by Hazel-Atlas between 1932-1935.

Picked this yellow sherbert up at a nearby thrift shop recently.  Hard to tell from the photo, but the colour is very ‘citrusy’ yellow.

I don’t know if this is Florentine number one or two.  But it’s definitely Florentine. It’s a cute little thing.  If you put your dessert in this sized glass you wouldn’t have to worry about eating too much Hagen Daas!  I picked this up because I don’t have any pieces in the clear.  Oddly enough I’d never seen the clear.  Always interesting to see pieces in the proverbial flesh.

Diamond & Button Old Virignia Line - FentonPicked these up on our Niagara jaunt.  Trying to figure out who made them has been interesting.  A number of companies have been attributed to have produced this pattern, with glass moulds going back in forth, or one company producing the glass for another.  Fenton, Westmoreland and L.G. Wright have been accredited with producing the pattern.

I did see a pair at the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum that resembled this set.  They were marked with a label indicating that they were part of Fenton’s Olde Virginia Line.  My set doesn’t have the mark for that line.  Don’t know if all items were marked or not.

Likely to remain a mystery.

008Last year when we were travelling through down to Tennessee I noticed that I saw alot of glassware by Fenton.  When you travel around southern Ontario you run into alot of Cornflower.  When we were in the Niagara area last weekend I saw lots of different pieces of Iris.  And somewhere (can’t recall where) I recall seeing alot of hobnail.  Must be regional preferences , for some reason.  Particularly if a town or city is close to the original manufacturer.

In any event we were in this tiny little thrift shop in the Tonawanda area.  My guy picked up a cane, helped the clerk fix her debit reader and I bought a few things, including this bowl.  I have other pieces of Iris.  Trying to remember where I put my pitcher and tumblers!

I like the Carnival amber colours better.  I only have the tray in that colour.  Saw a pretty sugar and creamer, but they were a little costly.  Someday maybe!
