Yesterday I was in Cobourg, coming home from an auction in Brighton.  We stopped for lunch at Meet at 66 King West (great place) which is conveniently attached to an antique shop.  We browsed, and oddly enough I didn’t buy anything but I saw a couple vases that were interesting.  Flash forward to today….I am trying to identify an etch and am perusing my books.  Came across similar vases to those of yesterday.  The book image is of Fenton Hand Vase #38.  Produced 1942-1943.  They look like they sound – a hand holding a vase.  Ran a search and came across this interesting site – www.theglassmuseum.com/glasshandvases.htm.  Lots of information in this article, and on the site in general.  I think I’m going to make a page with links to specific glass objects.  While I tend to focus on beverage stems, there are many, many other items that folks collect.
