Diane Etch, Etched Glass, Relish Dish

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It’s been quite awhile since I have added to this blog.  Not for a lack of buying new (old) thing, just that there is always so much going on that seems to take priority.

My husband and I went to Florida last month as I had to carry purchases back on the plane.  I didn’t buy much, but did pick up this pretty piece.

I don’t think that the glass relishes are in favour with folks, but they are so lovely.  Cambridge did make some gorgeous pieces.

Imperial Glass Line 160 – Cape Cod Relish with Silver Overlay

Acorn and Oak Leaf, Depression Glass, Pressed Glass, Relish Dish, Silver Overlay

I went to an auction at McGregors recently and picked up a few lots.  I had seen this relish dish a number of times and always thought “Meh!”  But the silver overlay caught my eye.  I like oak trees and as a kid thought that finding an acorn was something to be celebrated.  Mostly maples near my childhood home.

I couldn’t figure out who had made it so I turned to the Facebook group – Vintage Glass Identification for help.  This is a great group of folks and I very often get an ID when I am stumped.  I had the answer very quickly.

Collectors Weekly had a little bit of information on this line in the article Vintage Imperial Glass.

“Around the same time as the introduction of Candlewick, Imperial began producing      a line that would become almost as successful—Cape Cod. Newton secured a deal        with Quaker Oats to distribute No. 160 in the Cape Cod line as giveaway items—          many of these pieces are highly desirable today.”

There appears to have been quite a number of items produced in the line and you can find some of the patents in the gallery of the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum.  Looks like the pieces were produced in the 1930s-1950s.

I think that the silver overlay could be the work of Lotus Glass.  This 2007 article by Barbara Wyrick in the references the name “Acorn and Oak Leaf” pattern by Lotus.  I can’t seem to find online images so I have purchased the book Lotus: Depression Glass And Far Beyond by Dean Six to see if I can verify the pattern.  The book hasn’t yet arrived but I am looking forward to seeing the pretty patterns by Lotus.  I have a number of pieces with overlay that I haven’t been able to attribute and maybe this reference guide will help.

 

Fostoria Glass – Five Section Relish Dish in the Mayfair Line, Etched with the Fruit Design

Apples, Cherries, Depression Glass, Elegant Glass, Etched Fruit, Etched Glass, Grapes, Pears, Plate Etched, Relish Dish

I came across this piece in a local thrift shop.  I always wonder how it made its way from West Virginia to a small Ontario town.  But I guess during its 80+ years there was lots of time for travel.  A poster in the Everyday and Elegant Glass Forum reports that this etch was introduced in 1933 and discontinued in 1939.

The etch is Fostoria’s #320 – Fruit Design and the line is #2419 – Mayfair.

This is a good sized, heavy piece.  The dish is 13 1/4 inches at its longest, 7 3/4 inches wide in the middle and 9 1/4 inches at its widest points. It stands 1 1/4 inches.

The glass is so bright it almost glows.  It is a very attractive piece.
