Creamer, Depression, Floral Etch, Plate Etched, Radiance

New Martinsville Meadow Wreath Radiance Creamer (1)I had a very nice ‘glass’ weekend.  We made a trip to the Kitchener-Waterloo (K-W) area to visit family and I was able to spend two hours at Southworks in Cambridge, and time at various thrift shops, flea markets and other antique stores in between K-W and home.

I picked this pretty little creamer up at the Pickering Flea Market.  This is New Martinsville’s Line #42 – Radiance and the etch is Meadow Wreath.

I gather that this line was produced between 1926-1944.

I love the solid handle on this piece!

Amber Glass, Bowl, Coloured Glass, Depression, German Glass

Unknown Amber Bowl (3)My guy brought this bowl home from the local flea market.  It has a striking appearance – nice rich colour, great weight with solid feet.

I had no idea as to its provenance since I’d never seen anything like it.  luckily the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum came through with the correct ID.  A reference was made to the Presglass-Pavillion site and there it was!

Unknown Amber Bowl (5)According to the 20th Century Glass online encyclopedia:

“Walther Glas was founded in 1865 in Saxony, Germany. In 1950 the company was expropriated. Production began again in Siebenstern, Germany, in 1951. Walther Glas still produces glassware today, under the management of Volker Walther.”

Here is a sketch of this pattern. Don’t know if this is a catalog, or some sort of registration.  Looks like this piece was designed or produced in 1937.  So…European Depression Glass.

This pattern came in a large number of pieces, and in a range of different colours.  I saw photos of pieces called “cloud glass”.  Lots of swirly decorations.

Aren’t these feet great?Unknown Amber Bowl (2)

Heisey Yeoman Sugar (1)This covered sugar bowl is from the Yeoman line, which I gather consists of a number of lines – 1184, 1185, 1187, and 1189.  This is line #1184 (I think).  I gather this line came in a diamond optic or plain, as is this piece.  In the book The Collector’s Encyclopedia of Heisey Glass, 1925-1938 by Neila Bredehoft, the pattern is identified and explained by:

“Several items in the line were originally listed as Pattern # 1182 (mainly those available in hawthorne).  Yeoman seems to be a catch-all pattern of simple designs for tableware.  Usually numbers up to #1189 are considered to be part of Yeoman.”  I don’t really know the logic behind this name, but Ms. Bredehoft indicates that the Yeoman name was use din later years – production dates – 1913-1957.

This is pretty colour.  This is in Heisey’s Hawthorne – a dark pink/lavendar shade.  Very pretty.  The pattern came in moongleam (green), flamingo (pink), marigold (bright yellow) and sahara (a different yellow).
