\"\"<\/a>I wandered into a Value Village recently.\u00a0 This creamer was tucked away at the back of a shelf and at first I couldn’t see the etch, but the shape was intriguing.\u00a0 I really like the solidity of the stem.<\/p>\n

Didn’t know what it was but figured that it would be too hard to track down, and it wasn’t.<\/p>\n

Turns out that the piece was made by Gillinder, likely in the late nineteenth century.\u00a0 The etching is #14 and I gather it is commonly known as Deer and Dog.\u00a0 It is difficult to\u00a0capture the details, but the etch is comprised of two running deer, a hunting dog, a hunter with a gun and trees and grass.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Other than some light scratches there is no damage.\u00a0 I always wonder how something so old and made of glass can survive more than 100 years of use and\/or been shunted about.<\/p>\n
