Fostoria Vesper (2)I have neglected my poor little blog.  Not for lack of items to profile, but because of work, gardening (kind of – still cold here in Ontario), volunteer stuff, but…mainly because of my new first grandson – a/k/a Mr. Adorable.

However I have a few minutes and wanted to post an addition to this pattern.

I am assuming that this is the water goblet.  It stands 7 1/4 inches tall with an opening of 3 1/2 inches.  Medium to wide optic.

Replacements.com identifies this as stem #5093.

Very pretty.

Heisey “Tricorn” Triplex Candle Holder

Heisey Plantation Candle Holder (5)I was trolling Around the Block just before Christmas looking for some jadite mugs.  Didn’t find any, but came away with this pretty three lite candelabra.  I was pretty sure it was a piece of Heisey, which was verified by the “H in a diamond” mark.  However I kept referring to it as “Plantation” when in fact the piece of vegetation is not a pineapple, but is an acorn!

I gather researchers and collectors call the pattern “Tricorn”, but the name is actually “Triplex” and this is line #129.

The piece was made in a number of colours and in crystal with a different colour base.

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.
