\"Viking<\/a>And yet again…..I’ve never seen Prelude stemware. \u00a0Came across these stems – oysters, fruit cocktails, whatever, d\"Vikinguring my recent trip to Washington and Virginia. \u00a0I am still not a fan of this etch, but I like the stemware more than the serving pieces.<\/p>\n

I’ve shown this etch before, but this is such a pretty shape that I thought it worth showcasing.\u00a0\u00a0The pattern was originally made by the New Martinsville Glass Manufacturing Company of West Virginia, starting in the 1930s.\u00a0 The company was bought out by the Viking Glass Company which continued to produce the etch into the ’50s.<\/p>\n

I have a couple different bon bon dishes. \u00a0I really don’t use them and they are stuck somewhere in a drawer, or even in a box. \u00a0One thing about this glass obsession….I don’t really enjoy all my pieces as I can’t possibly have them all out to be seen! \u00a0I don’t really fancy this etch all that much, although I don’t really know why, and even though I have the two pieces, will likely not buy any more. \u00a0I tend to focus on stemware now, but of course I’d never say never about buying anything!\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
