\"\"<\/a>It has been a very long time since I have posted on this blog.\u00a0 In the interim I have had a trip to the east coast of Canada and made a number of short trips.\u00a0 Along the way I have picked up a few new things.\u00a0 Not alot as I am trying to cut back on my inventory for my shops as well as for my own collections.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless I still keep my peepers peeped.<\/p>\n

I have long sold the bowl and ladle combo.\u00a0 Imagine my surprise when I saw the same bowl, this time with the underplate, in a Salvation Army thrift shop in my hometown of Fort Erie.\u00a0 No ladle this time.<\/p>\n

I always wonder how pieces end up where they do.<\/p>\n

\"Cambridge<\/p>\n

This weekend we went out to Orono where the annual antiques fair was held.\u00a0 I picked up a number of pieces including this pretty opaque purple (Cambridge called it Helio) dish.\u00a0 I was very surprised to find my first piece of Helio in this little Ontario town.\u00a0 I asked the vendor if she recalled where she had found it, but she did not.<\/p>\n

I have only seen Helio online.\u00a0 I gather that there are variations in the tone of purple.\u00a0 This is a fairly dark piece.\u00a0 I read in the reference book – Colors in Cambridge Glass II – that Helio was introduced in January 1923 and was likely only produced for no more than two years.<\/p>\n

I believe this set to be the mayonnaise, with ladle, from line #169.<\/p>\n
