\"bohemia-thistle-pitcher-1\"<\/a>I have seen, as mentioned below, quite a number of pieces of stemware, with two types of stems. \u00a0One straight and one with wafers. \u00a0I have plates that sit beneath stemware, and I have seen decanters and the bowl below. \u00a0However this pitcher was a first for me.<\/p>\n

I don’t know what its intended use was. \u00a0I am thinking that it was used to mix and pour cocktails. \u00a0I can see it sitting elegantly on a tray with a swizzle stick and fancy coloured beverages in it. \u00a0Very luxe!<\/p>\n

\"Bohemia<\/a>I have seen quite a number of pieces with the Thistle etch, mostly stemware,\u00a0but I had never seen a\u00a0bowl. \u00a0It is salad bowl sized.<\/p>\n

The location of this purchase stymies me right this second, but it is a recent acquisition. \u00a0The clarity of the glass, given the size, and its shape, make it quite attractive.<\/p>\n

Over the years that I have been selling glass, I have sold more of this pattern, than any other. \u00a0I think it was popular in Canada twenty to thirty years ago. \u00a0I have often had customers comment that this was their wedding set twenty years ago.\"Bohemia<\/a><\/p>\n

It occurs to me that I will sell this some day, but actually have no idea where it is! \u00a0Must put on thinking cap and find it.<\/p>\n

\"Bohemia<\/a>During our recent Niagara jaunt we went into an antique store in Fort Erie (in the Crystal Beach area). \u00a0It has been in the process of closing for two years and everything was 50% off! \u00a0With a sign like that, how could one not go in! \u00a0I was surprised to see these pieces of Thistle. \u00a0The stems on the pieces below are called ‘wafer’. \u00a0These pieces have a very delicate looking thin stem and of course the bowl is a different shape.\"Bohemia<\/a><\/p>\n

I find this line interesting. \u00a0So many pieces in various iterations.<\/p>\n

I have had many pieces of this pattern. \u00a0In fact the snifters were among the first pieces I bought for myself – from a place in Port Hope. \u00a0I’ve had flutes, open champagnes, decanters, snifters, jam jar and cordials. \u00a0I think that’s all. \u00a0I sold these particular items to a colleague. \u00a0Very pretty, although I personally prefer champagne flutes to the open saucers. \u00a0Don’t know why. \u00a0I guess they seem more elegant to me. \u00a0Also, less tippy I think! \u00a0 Although I’ve come across this pattern a number of times, it is fairly easy to sell the pieces, if you are so inclined. \u00a0I’m looking for some wine stems for someone else.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
