Tiffin Rosemary (1)This seven inch bowl is a pretty green.  It is vaseline glass, and glows quite brilliantly under black light.  Of course, who has black light in their house all the time?

The plate etch showcases some large flowers.

The Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum has a photo of a pink bowl with this etch and refers to it as line 310-1/2.  The legs on this piece are different so I don’t know if it is the same line.Tiffin Rosemary (2)

The green is very pretty.

Colored Glass, Coloured Glass, Depression, Green Glass, Water Goblet

Hocking Block Optic (3)I tried to get a photo of this stem glowing under the black light, but couldn’t seem to manage it.  It has a bit of uranium and has a pretty colour in and out of black light.

This water goblet was made by the Hocking Glass Company, Lancaster, Ohio, from 1929-1933. The pattern is called Block Optic.

I gather that this pattern was produced in amber, crystal, pink and yellow as well as in the green.  According to Warman, production in the amber was limited, so keep you eyes peeled!

There certainly seems to have been quite a number of pieces made in this line.  It is not a dainty line – sturdy – but attractive nonetheless.

Hocking Ring Server editedEven though they are not a match, wouldn’t this goblet look nice on the table with Hocking’s server in the Ring pattern?

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!
