013I bought this single candle holder some time ago and had it mistakenly sent to my daughter in British Columbia ( along way from my  home).  I was recently visiting her and brought it back with me.

It is Cambridge’s line #3500/74  four inch candlestick in the pretty Crown Tuscan pink.014

And…obviously the rams head collection continues.

Cambridge Rosepoint candles with Ram (5)I’m forever looking for the ‘collection-in-the-making’.  The ‘something’ that I want to focus on.  I have to admit the Cambridge Ram’s head items DO appeal to me.

I saw this set online.  This beautiful pair of Ram’s Heads candle holders (line #3500), etched with the Rosepoint pattern, were produced by the Cambridge Glass Company, of Cambridge, Ohio, from 1934-1958.

The ram’s heads are detailed, and oh so interesting! They are tucked beneath the lip of the candle cup. Cambridge Rosepoint candles with Ram (2)The rim of the base is edged with ‘beading’.  The heads are pretty teensy.  Hidden so that they are a treat when you notice them.

I regret selling my Vallerysthal vase with the rams.

009Never did buy the console bowl and…..I sold the piece.  I’ve long been sorry that I sold it, although I don’t really know why since I do not collect flower frogs.

In any event I wanted to post this again in order to point to this site that I came across today – Black Poppy Glass.  The site owners have a huge collection of beautiful pieces, including a large collection of Cambridge’s flower frogs.  Definitely worth a look as there are colours and shapes, not often seen.

I am on vacation – yippie!  We are off on a road trip soon and I am certain that I will be picking up some treasures along the way.  I took the day off to work in the garden, but it rained all day!  I could have done laundry and packed, but decided to hit the local thrift and antique shops.

Now….I don’t need anything and haven’t bought a thing for ages, but….I couldn’t resist this pretty piece011.  It’s an 8 1/2 inch figural flower frog.  I’ve never owned one, so…I thought, well….why not?

The photos don’t really reflect the attractiveness of this piece.

Now I need to find a pink console bowl.

Unknown Pink Bowl (2)My guy brought this home for me.  I guess it is attractive inits own way, but it doesn’t do a thing for me.

I don’t know if it is old or not.  I posted it on a Facebook site that I belong to and asked if it was recognized.  Someone suggested that it was made by Walther Glass of Germany and was a pattern called Belvedere.Unknown Pink Bowl (3)

I found the Belvedere pattern, but it doesn’t look to be a match.  In the absence of much response I think it is likely relatively modern.  Although there are some nice details, I think it will find a home at the local thrift shop, or with a neighbour who likes pink glass.
