When I first posted this in May I couldn’t identify it. \u00a0I am pleased to be able to do so now. \u00a0Yesterday I was in Waterloo at the St. Jacobs Antique Store when I picked up the Encyclopedia of Paden City Glass<\/em> by Carrie and Jerry Domitz. \u00a0I didn’t necessarily think I had any Paden City glass but I like to be able to recognize pieces that I might buy, or perhaps have.<\/p>\n

Lo and behold I saw this etch as I was leafing through the book. \u00a0I was surprised to discover that it is a needle etch. \u00a0I thought it likely to be plate etching. \u00a0The authors say, “This is probably the last pattern that would have been identified as Paden City.” \u00a0They also say that this pattern is unlike any other done by Paden City.<\/p>\n

They just call this piece a tumbler and not a juice glass. \u00a0Interestingly I came across this etch, only for the second time, in St. Jacobs at an Antique Market. \u00a0The pieces were stems – sherberts and wines. \u00a0I looked at them (can’t recall the price, but I think they were costly) but didn’t buy as I don’t like to collect a lot of pieces in a pattern if I don’t know what it is. \u00a0Now of course, I’d like to have a second look!<\/p>\n

These stems aren’t mentioned in the book.<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago my hubby and I went on an antiquing adventure. \u00a0We stopped into a large, multi-vendor shop in Glen Valley (Halton Hills). \u00a0I wish I could remember the name!<\/p>\n

We’d been there a year or so ago. \u00a0A self-propelled police car was acquired for the Man Cave. \u00a0I think I bought something, but again, can’t quite recall what it\/they was\/were.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I wandered through this shop. \u00a0It is large and has something for everyone. \u00a0I picked up a number of pieces including 6 or 8 of these glasses. \u00a0I don’t know the etch – have never come across it. \u00a0It has an art deco appearance.<\/p>\n

The vendors were at their booth and I asked if they knew the provenance. \u00a0The lady said that they had belonged to her mother, but didn’t know anything about them other than they were old.<\/p>\n

I have a couple other etches in this size and shaped blank. \u00a0I assume that they are juice glasses, although I suppose they could be used for liqueurs. \u00a0They have a subtle optic.<\/p>\n

I’m guessing that these are early twentieth century, but really….they could have been made yesterday. \u00a0Hope someone out there takes pity on me and lets me know!<\/p>\n
