It seems like a very long time ago that I was antiquing in the US to purchase this pretty little piece. Actually just being in the US was over a year ago. We had to cancel our trip to Cambridge Ohio where I was going to attend my first Cambridge Glass Convention. Oh well, my credit card was spared I guess. Next year!
This is a pretty little piece with #327 Navarre. Love the handles.

Came across four or five of these sherberts during our recent U.S. road trip. I still don’t understand why this etch has remained so popular. It’s nice enough, but ‘meh’ I have seen, and own, etched pieces that are much more appealing to me.
In fact I marvel at what I post to sell and what actually sells. I have pieces that I can never understand why they haven’t been snatched up. Unique and attractive. I just figure there beauty doesn’t translate well though photography and has to be seen ‘live’. Oh well. More time for me to admire them.
As a side note. We did stop in at the Deseronto Antique Market on our way back. In fact this was our last shop stop. That is where I bought my Greensburg ashtray. Also picked up some amber luncheon plates which I haven’t done anything with yet. I wonder where they are? The shop had a fair number of pieces of glass. Prices were quite high, in my opinion, for some pieces and reasonable for others. Nice place to check out though – Karen Brown’s Antiques & Collectibles, Karen Brown’s Antiques & Collectibles, 501 Dundas, Deseronto, ON

I had a great day today! Wandered off to an auction in Brighton. I picked up a few items there, not as much as I had hoped. Actually the best item I bought isn’t glass. I bought the most beautiful Cauldon, England handpainted Botanical platter (14 inches). I have likely mentioned that I don’t restrict my acquisitions to glass only!
I stopped at the antique store in Colborne. It’s just south of the 401. They have many new vendors in there and have reorganized. It was great! I bought some stems in there. Don’t know what they are, but they are G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S!!!! I’m going to try to identify them before I put them online.
Side note. I chatted with a lady who told me that a new antique shop is opening in Deseronto on January 15th (I think).
I knew I recognized this etch (but at my age, couldn’t bring up the name!!!!!). It’s Fostoria’s Navarre. I’ve posted a stem way back when, but thought I’d put this up as well.
Navarre is a bittersweet memory. The sale of Navarre brandy snifters is the only time that an ebay buyer took advantage of me and I lost a pile of money…long story and a couple years ago, but I’m obviously still bitter!
Dainty little piece. I’m trying to identify the other new purchases before I post.
