Already updated (later same day).<\/p>\n

Nice man, Neil, from the Moon and Star Glass Club<\/a> has identified this piece as, ”\u00a0a Sherbet made by Fenton for the L G Wright Glass Co in the 50-60’s. \u00a0Some what hard to find in ruby. It could also be a small covered jelly if it had a lid.”<\/p>\n

Nice of this gentleman to take his time to ID this for me.<\/p>\n

Last week I wrote about going to the wonderful shop Around the Block<\/a> in Toronto. \u00a0This pretty red piece was one of the items I picked up.<\/p>\n

I have long sold the amberina compote below. \u00a0It was a gorgeous combination of red and yellow. \u00a0This piece is strictly red, but it has shades of yellow in it, visible when the sun shines.<\/p>\n

I guess this is a claret or whatever – but regardless of the beverage that is intended to be poured into this glass, it appears to be another piece of Moon and Stars.<\/p>\n

However the ID is unknown. \u00a0A post\/photo of a similar glass has been added to the gallery of the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum<\/a>\u00a0(a fab website!). \u00a0The post indicates that L.E. Smith never made a solid red – just the amberina as seen below. \u00a0The post further says that the L.G. Wright Glass Company produced a moon and stars pressed glass, but not of this shape.<\/p>\n

My searches for information on this piece led me to the website of the Moon and Star Glass Club<\/a>. \u00a0Very interesting piece on the history of this pattern. \u00a0They list the companies that have made this pattern:<\/p>\n
