This has such a pretty rich colour. Ruby with hints of yellow, particularly in the dolphins. The floral details on the base make this a very festive holiday piece. Likely would have more of a Christmas feel with reindeer instead of the dolphins!

It’s been such a long time since I have posted on my blog that I can’t even recall where I bought this pretty piece. I have such a weakness for these center handle servers. I rarely use them or sell them and they are difficult to store, but they call out to me!
This one had such a pretty handle and such a rich colour that I couldn’t resist it.
Turns out that it was made by Paden City, likely in the 1930s. It has a cutting with foliage and a berry/flower (?) – name unknown.

Please find a pretty pressed ruffled edge milk glass vase manufactured by the Imperial Glass Company. It was likely manufactured between 1953-1971. This pressed piece is decorated with a ruffled edge, loganberries and leaves and is signed with Imperial’s mark.
I like it because it reminds me of my neighbour’s mulberry tree (yes I know they weren’t loganberries). I don’t even know what loganberries are! Anyway my neighbour had a tree and the neighbourhood kids spent a great deal of time in it picking and eating berries. While the tree was cut down as there after a horrible accident, I still have fond memories of having a purple stained mouth and figures.
This all happened 50+ years ago. So clear to me, although last week is a bit of a blur!
