I have been so lucky to add these two bowls to my collection.  The first one, in Tuscan pink, came courtesy of Mr. Lynn Welker of Margaret Lane Antiques in New Concord, OH.  He was nice enough to take my name and contct information and le tme know when he had one in stock.

The Emerald Green one came from an ebay seller.

These two colours have been on my bucket list for ages.  I am thrilled to own them.  Don’t know if I will be fortunate enough to see one if Forest Green or in Royal Blue.  I let a forest green one go by years ago and I am still kicking myself!

I sold the clear bowl some time ago to a lady who owned a farm and had a flock of sheep.  I loved that story.  I swore up and down that I was only going to collect coloured bowls.  But……

I saw this pretty bowl with the lovely #763 Minerva etching and the gilt and rationalized that the ‘gold’ was a colour.  But this really is the only crystal one I am going to acquire.  (I hope).

Thrilled to have added another colour to my collection – Amethyst.  Absolutely beautiful!  Line 3500 / 25.

I was (and still am) thrilled to have acquired this piece, line 432 in Peach Blo.  It is very pretty.

While I am still looking for colours in line 432 I did come across this pretty amber piece – line 3500/27.

Almost had a line on a Tuscan bowl in line 3500/25 but I misunderstood the rules of the live online auction and it was sold to some other lucky collector!

Happy, happy, happy!  Have looked a long time for the line #432 bowl in ebony with gold decorations.  Absolutely gorgeous.

Missed one in Tuscan (pink) recently.  That’s on my radar now however.

 


October 23, 2016

This one is line 3500/26. I don’t know for sure what shade of blue this is.  Cambridge made a number of different transparent blues.  I am guessing that this is ‘Willow Blue’….but don’t know for sure.

Glows a pretty green under a black light.

Now on to the ebony or tuscan!

Tuscan Rams Head CandleI figured I should add the Tuscan candle holder.  Maybe posting it will ‘attract’ a bowl!

Woo hoo…..I finally acquired a bowl in Helio.  I have seen a few of these online and while I never was able to justify the cost of buying another, I just bought it.  If I had to wait to justify it, it would never have been purchased.Cambridge Helio Rams Head Bowl

According to the book Colors in Cambridge Glass II by the National Cambridge Collectors, Inc. Helio was introduced in January 1923.  The book goes on to day that Helio was likely only produced for two years.  So this piece was made in 1924 at the latest.

Obtaining bowls in the colours  I don’t own will be more difficult.  I have seen the Tuscan bowl advertised at an online auction, but have never seen any other colours for sale online or in person.  I’d love to get them in the ebony and the ivory (at least).

Cambridge #432 Jade

Last one, so far…….This is the jade with gold details.  The colour isn’t well reproduced here, but it is lovely.

I am looking for one in ebony.  Haven’t come across one.  I let one in helio (pinky/purple) ‘get’ away.  Still cross about it!

I bought one Rams Head single candle holder in the Tuscan pink.  Unfortunately, due to complete idiocy, I had it sent to my daughter’s house – 2,000 miles away.  I am visiting in June and am looking forward to picking it up.

February 13, 2015 Update

IMG_3200I added to my rams head bowl collection recently.  Another bowl – line #3500/432.  This piece is Cambridge’s Azurite colour.

Here’s an article by Lynn Welker on Azurite pieces by Cambridge.

Very pretty!

 

October 19, 2014 Update

002This pretty cobalt (Aurora Jewels) console set was made by Imperial Glass.  The bowl has Imperial’s “IG” signature.  Imperial bought the moulds from Cambridge, when it closed, in the 1960s.  Imperial only made the set in cobalt.

Cambridge Clear Ram's Head BowlI have recently added a few ram’s head items to my collections.  I have some thoughts about accumulating them for awhile and just displaying them in my office.

I don’t know why I find them so interesting.  The details aren’t pretty.  In fact they are somewhat ominous.  But….I like them.  Cambridge Clear Ram's Head Bowl (5)

This is Cambridge’s line #3500/27.  The item below is line #3500/432.

Cambridge Rams Head Bowl in Rubina (2)I have long longed for a Rams Head Bowl.  Over the years I have coveted them in azurite (absolutely gorgeous) or in crystal with an etch of some sort.  The first one I saw had Fostoria’s Elaine etch.  But they were just too darned expensive.

Recently I came across this piece online on Etsy.  I ‘favourited it”, but never really entertained any thoughts of buying it.

A couple weeks ago I was reading an article in the newspaper that spoke about people buying gifts for themselves at Christmas time. Cambridge Rams Head Bowl in RubinaThe suggestion was that folks are getting over their guilt at treating themselves when they are shopping for others. Obviously this is quite true as I took possession of this bowl yesterday.  I am glad I did!

This is what Russell Vogelsand said in an 1978 article called Cambridge Rubina:

“This fine color line of Cambridge Glass was introduced to the public January 25, 1925.

The new glass is not one color, but a natural three or more tone glass, in                which the predominating shades are red, green and blue. Each tone is                      diverging into the other.”

I wanted to show how the colours blend so I took photos from the different angles, including a look at the base.Cambridge Rams Head Bowl in Rubina 3

I gather these pieces are not plentiful and that the rams head bowl is rare to find.  I consider myself lucky.  It is gorgeous and at least at this point in time, is a keeper.

Heisey Yeoman Goblets

Colored Glass, Coloured Glass, Flamingo, Goblets, Green Glass, Moongleam, Pink Glass, Sahara, Stemware, Yellow Glass, Yeoman

These are not stems that are of the greatest quality nor are they particularly delicate.  But….for some reason they appeal to me.  Maybe it’s the variety of colours, or maybe it’s because they are not too costly!  Ha ha.

A little info from The Collectors Encyclopedia of Heisey Glass 1925-1938 by Neila Bredehoft:

“Production range for these lines #1184, 1185, 1186, 1187, 1189 was 1913-1957.  The name Yeoman was given by Heisey in later years.

The goblets are part of line #1184.”

I haven’t measured their capacity but I am guessing that they hold 8 ounces.  There is a 10 ounce goblet as well.

There are many pieces in the Yeoman line.  Some without an optic and some with the diamond optic seen on these stems.

Imperial Glass made amber goblets later with the Heisey molds.

I bought the Moongleam (green) and the Sahara (yellow) goblets on ebay and the Flamingo (pink) from the Carlisles of Sheridan, Indiana who deal only in Heisey glass (with a few pieces of Blendo as an aside).  If you want a treat, check out the half price videos on Youtube, weekly on Thursdays, where Kim Carlise displays a table full of glass that he is selling at half price.

Kim and his daughter are lovely to work with.  Kim also does some repair.  He cleaned up a cloudy decanter for me.  Turned out beautifully for a very reasonable price.

I have decided after looking at these three colours that I likely prefer the Moongleam over the other two colours.  But they are all pretty spiffy.

3400/1182, Basket, Colored Glass, Coloured Glass, Etched Glass, Floral Etch, Pink Glass

This is such a pretty piece.  The handles are lovely.  The gold filled etch is nicely set off by the pink colour of the glass.

The line is #3400/1182 and the etch is #746 Gloria decorated with gold.
