Bows, Creamer, Floral, June, Pink, Plate Etched, Wine Glass, Yellow Glass

Was up in St. Jacobs at the St. Jacobs Antique Market a couple weekends ago and came across a quartet of these pretty stems.  They are 3 ounce wine glasses.

The etch is #279 – June and the line is #5098 (patented in 1928).  A copy of the patent is available for review in the gallery of the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum.

The depth of the etch is interesting.  Three of the glasses are lightly etched and the fourth shows much heavier etching.  I have tried to show this in the images.  The larger photo has the lighter etching. 

Such a pretty yellow.

I had the sugar at one point but sold it.  June is a very pretty etch.  This is in pink and it comes in blue, two yellows and clear as well.  This etch is similar to another of Fostoria’s patterns – Romance.  I gather that the pink and blue are the most popular colours for collectors.  This is the only piece I have of this etch.  Pretty, very romantic.

Unknown Vaseline/Uranium Glass

Uranium Glass, Vaseline Glass, Wine Glass

I picked up a set of five (one was chipped) of these stems when I was in the U.S. earlier in the year.  I figures, and I was right, that I would have difficulty identifying them as their shape is fairly common I think.

I am guessing that these are a small wine at 5 1/2 inches tall with openings of 2 1/2 inches.  There is a narrow optic.

I do not really know the difference between uranium and vaseline glass.  The two terms see to be used interchangeably by some.  This is now the Encyclopedia of Glass by Mark Picvet defines each:

“Uranium Glass – A brilliant fluorescent yellowish-green glass produced by the addition of uranium oxide.  Due to the nature of the metallic element uranium, uranium glass is mildly radioactive (but not harmful) and glows brightly under a black light.  It was first made in the 1830s in Germany.”

“Vaseline Glass – Glass made with a small amount of uranium oxide (usually 1% or 2%) that imparts a light greenish-yellow color (a greasy appearance like vaseline).  Vaseline glass usually glows under a black light.  Vaseline-like glass was first made by the Romans; however, it was not used in glass production in any quantity until the mid-nineteenth century.  The term “Vaseline” was not used until about 1937.  Note that the English usually refer to Vaseline glass as “Lemonescent” which has also been called canary, yellow, uranium, topaz, magic, Canaria, |Chameleon, Anna Yellow, Annagrun, and Lenora Green.”

I am guessing that my stems are Vaseline.  Any hints as to their provenance will be appreciated!

Colored Glass, Coloured Glass, Golf Ball, Red Glass, Ruby Glass, Wine Glass

I had long wanted to purchase something in this line and finally came across these pieces during my last road trip to the U.S. (I think).  These are the 3 ounce wine glasses.

The deep ruby is very attractive and the little ‘golf balls’ add a touch of whimsy.
