Acid Etch, Animals in Glass, Creamer, Deer, Dog, Gillinder, Hunter

I wandered into a Value Village recently.  This creamer was tucked away at the back of a shelf and at first I couldn’t see the etch, but the shape was intriguing.  I really like the solidity of the stem.

Didn’t know what it was but figured that it would be too hard to track down, and it wasn’t.

Turns out that the piece was made by Gillinder, likely in the late nineteenth century.  The etching is #14 and I gather it is commonly known as Deer and Dog.  It is difficult to capture the details, but the etch is comprised of two running deer, a hunting dog, a hunter with a gun and trees and grass.

Other than some light scratches there is no damage.  I always wonder how something so old and made of glass can survive more than 100 years of use and/or been shunted about.

Isn’t this a cute little plate?  Didn’t know what it was, but knew that it was older.

Turns out that it was made by Dithridge & Company of Pittsburgh and Jeannette Pennsylvania which operated between 1862-1900.

This little plate was supposedly part of a special line of Easter novelty decorations. I have seen it called Ducks and Eggs. The number 93 is pressed on the back and refers to the mold number.

The plate likely had other colours on the front. Others that I have seen online show different colours.

I think this is the first piece I have purchased  made by Ditheridge (or as far as I know in any event).

This neat looking cocktail glass was made by Heisey in 1947.  The line is #5048 – Rooster Head.

According to the book Heisey Glass 1896-1957: identification & guide by Neila and Tim Bredehoft, these stems were sold with Heisey’s #4225 Cobel cocktail shaker or the #4036 shaker with the Rooster Head stopper.  The stems came in crystal, and in a crystal bowl/amber stem combination.

The book also advises that there are other similar Rooster Head cocktails of unknown maker(s) which are not so finely made and come in various colours.
