\"Westmoreland<\/a>As I had mentioned in the original post I had turned to the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum <\/a>for advice. \u00a0I just noticed last night that one of the members had confirmed\u00a0that these pieces were made by Westmoreland.<\/p>\n

The member, Mr. G. Jones, \u00a0posted \u00a0this image from the\u00a0905 Westmoreland Specialty Company Sales Catalogue.<\/p>\n

Always nice to have an item verified.<\/p>\n

\"Fostoria<\/a>I bought these locally.\u00a0 I often wonder how pieces end up where they do.\u00a0 These pieces in particular intrigue me.\u00a0 I think they are early twentieth\u00a0century.\u00a0 Not uncommon, as they are available online, but not common either.\u00a0 How did they end up in south\/central Ontario?<\/p>\n

My guy has M’ikmaq blood and I thought he would enjoy having these two proud men in the house.<\/p>\n

I posted them on my favourite glass site – Everyday and Elegant Glass Forum<\/a> – asking if someone could suggest some reading about them.\u00a0 I was advised that these pieces are either Fostoria or Westmoreland and that there has been little written to distinguish one company’s pieces from the other.<\/p>\n

Likely I will never know for sure, but they are pretty neat.<\/p>\n
