Smith (?) My Pets Powder Jar"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"l.E.<\/a>This is a piece from my wee collection of “things that show Scotties”.\u00a0 I’ve never had a Scottie, nor intend to acquire one.\u00a0 I just like the way they, and Westies and some Terriers, look.\u00a0 I really like my little china “Made in Occupied Japan” piece.\u00a0 He looks very Sherlock-Holmes like.<\/p>\n

Anyway…..this piece is commonly attributed to L.E. Smith made in the 1930s.\u00a0 It is clear, but at some point had green flashed on to the clear.\u00a0 I have left the pieces of colour in the jar.\u00a0 The piece comes in a variety of colours including a pretty cobalt.<\/p>\n

However I came across this piece of info recently on the Glass Message <\/a>board:<\/p>\n

\"l.E.<\/a>“This powder jar with the three Scottie dogs on the lid was made circa the 1930s, probably by L. E. Smith Glass Company. On pages 284-285 of the (new) book on the L. E. Smith Glass Company, by Tom Felt, it is shown in plates 750 and 751. He says that it “has been attributed to the Diamond Glassware Company. However, I believe that the “My Pet” may be the No. 648 dog powder box found in the 1937 inventory and listed as ‘Greenburg stock.'” (L.E. Smith acquired the Greenburg Glass Company in 1920 and continued producing glass with many of their molds.) Although he doesn’t go so far as to say it absolutely is Smith’s, he believes it to be Smith due to Smith’s predilection for Scotties and because the base of the powder jar is similar to the bases of other known-to-be-Smith powder jars”.”<\/p>\n

So………..Greensburg, Diamond, or L.E. Smith?\u00a0 Whatever – it’s cute as a button.<\/p>\n
