Isn’t this a cute little plate?  Didn’t know what it was, but knew that it was older.

Turns out that it was made by Dithridge & Company of Pittsburgh and Jeannette Pennsylvania which operated between 1862-1900.

This little plate was supposedly part of a special line of Easter novelty decorations. I have seen it called Ducks and Eggs. The number 93 is pressed on the back and refers to the mold number.

The plate likely had other colours on the front. Others that I have seen online show different colours.

I think this is the first piece I have purchased  made by Ditheridge (or as far as I know in any event).

I can’t recall where or when I picked up this pair of two light Lariat candlesticks.  They have the Moonglo/Moon Glo cutting #942 on the base.

I likely should have included some other interesting information from the Bredehoft’s text:  production date 1942-1957; colour in crystal, rare black plates in black; designer Horace King; introduced at a show in Pittsburgh; and, designed to compete with Imperial’s ‘Candlewick’ line.

The candlesticks came in two and three light designs.  This one is obviously the three light.  The ‘Gordian knot’ or ‘Lariat’ is is pretty obvious with this piece.

I have this great book called Heisey Glass: 1896-1957 by Neila and Tom Bredehoft.  The Bredehofts have given alot of interesting information about different Heisey lines.  Regarding Lariat, they write:

“Lariat is the original name, although Heisey first referred ti the pattern as Gordian Knot……..The inspiration for this pattern was supposedly from the twisting of a heavy gold watch chain.”  (page 300).

I can honestly say that I would have guessed that a gold chain inspired the ‘loops’.

Libbey Goblets – Hobstar Pattern

Hobstar, Pressed Glass, Water Goblet

Libbey’s pieces that are signed with its cursive ‘L’ are easy to identify.  However I rarely pick up any pieces by Libbey.  These goblets aren’t really my thing, but they do have a certain appeal.  They are a solid, weighty in the hand, attractive glass.

I have no idea how old these pieces are, but they are not vintage.

Libbey is still in business and own a number of brands –   https://libbey.com/brand-family/

Hobstar pieces are still available to purchase, although I do not see the goblets on their web site.
