Boopie

054Thought I would just add the photo of the smaller glass – likely a liquor or sherry glass.  My Boopie collection has virtually disappeared.  Sold most of the red pieces, gave the amber to my daughter and just have a couple of these left.  I think my Boopie buying days are past!

Original May 29, 2012 Posting –

I can’t count the number of times I have come across the clear, unknown etched Boopies, in thrift shops.  I picked up a few of these shape, and sherberts, some time ago.  They are not my favourite and may find themselves in this weekend’s neighbourhood yard sale (weather permitting).  I much prefer the red and green, although I have some yellow pieces in the trunk of my car, yet to find themselves posted up here.

Boopie, Ruby

We were antiquing last weekend in Waterloo and I came across these glasses.  I bought two sizes of the same shape.  They are a rich ruby red.  Here’s a bit of history on these glasses from Ehow.com – “Berwick or Boopie glassware was produced by the Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation for almost three decades, from the 1950s to the 1970s. By that time, Anchor Hocking glassware was being produced by machines that could mold and press pieces at 90 or more items a minute.  Boopie stemware has a row of marble-like beads encircling the outer edge of the foot or base. Pairs of raised lines extend from the top of the foot to the bottom and end in a rounded design above each bead. The bowl is a slightly rounded taper shape.”

They also come in an attractive green and in clear glass.  I have a few of the clear with an etch on them.  I think the coloured pieces are much more attractive.

These are water goblets.  I also have juice/wine glasses.  Same shape but smaller.

They are not costly to collect and not hard to find – particularly the clear.
