Now the cups.

September 14, 2016

I picked up these pretty blue pieces recently.  The colour is a light blue with some white slag features in the plates.

They are marked “Pyrex…Made in Canada” which didn’t mean alot to me.  But I found this excellent reference – Canadian Depression Glass by Walter Lemiski – that told me that these pieces were likely made in the 1940s.

They were marked Pyrex and made by the MacBeth-Evans division of Corning Glass Works in Toronto.

The pattern is called Piecrust because the design resembles the fork marks on a pie crust (I think).

I love the delicate colour.
