It has been months since I posted anything on this site.  Not for a lack of new acquisitions, simply a lack of time.  I have taken up some new hobbies that compete for my time and interest.

Nonetheless this site is still alive and I thought I would start to add some new (old) pieces.

Isn’t this vase pretty?  I picked it up somewhere in the USA.   I hadn’t previously seen this etch in the wild but had seen so many photos that I knew what it was immediately.

The blank is line three handled #1401 – Empress. The etch is #454.

My long suffering spouse and I made a trip to Waterloo this past week.  I stopped into one of my favourite antique stores – St. Jacob’s Antiques Market –  and was surprised to find a set of six of these beautiful tumblers.

I recognized the Balda etch – #410 and knew that these were made by Central Glass Works of Wheeling, West Virginia.

My handy dandy book – Cetnral Glass Works: the Depression Era by Tim Schmidt provided the line #1428.  According to Schmidt this line was produced in the late 1920s/early 1930s.

The colour is refered to an ‘orchid tints’.

Lovely set of eight ounce tumblers.

I haven’t posted in a very long time.  Not because I haven’t acquired new stuff, but life has just gotten busy and the blog fell to the bottom of the priority list.

This piece deserves to be highlighted.

Over the years I have owned a number of pieces with ‘Willow’ etches, primarily from Fostoria.  Each time I sell a piece I wonder if I REALLY wanted to do that.  I have a large collection of blue and white porcelain willow dinnerware from different countries and manufacturers and time frames.  I mix and match them when having company and always have thought that the etched glass would be great to have on the table.  But I keep on selling it.

This is my first Cambridge ‘Willow’ #715 etch (on a mayonnaise dish).  Isn’t it gorgeous?
