hi ladies, got all caught up now CRS to reply to all so here's a bunch of ((hugs)).
Nice pix of glass. I think there's Fosteria cake plate in that box of glassware from mom.

I know Spookie..... not yet.... We will get car the week after Thanksgiving... I think "He" is getting used to the fact, that I'm going to do it whether he wants to or not, so he might as well go along with me.... Did I mention stubborn? Bull-headed? But he DID help me lay the new area carpet down!
I just love it! I ordered it.... without even asking....(horrors!) And he saw FedEx out front, and then saw the guy bringing the carpet up to the house, so I was glad he was here! Helped me clean and roll the other one up, and lay this one down... AND I needed him to help me move the table and chairs... Sometimes a girl just HAS to do what a girl's gotta do!
Now I just have to "tape" it down a bit, so he doesn't stumble....
Yes, I'll take pictures of my "new" car.... Ha! I would like something like a Chevy Cruz, or a Toyota something.... About a 2012, automatic, and no, Rosie... I don't want those keyless things.... Ha, ha! If YOU couldn't hear it, you know I COULDN'T either...! I would really like a red something.... or else black.... or just ANY thing at this point!
Love all the glass-ware girls! I have the ones you gave me Sassy, and some of my Mom's! My blue fairy-lite is in the kitchen window, with a sweet-potato trying to sprout, and a cutting off of my phylodendrum! By the way.... Where IS Phyllilostinspace?

Mags you have beautiful things beautiful
I love glass b/c it's just so versatile. Timeless. I can speak to the spoon dish without seeing it. It could be for spoons or it could be a banana split dish. The Victorians were mad crazy to have a 'proper dish for each thing served. It carried over for decades. Then into the sixties things changed. May have been cost. May have been space. Things did change with the advent of the barbecue after WWII.Americans in the 70's for sure started eating less formally. Fast forward till today, my local Macy's downgraded their whole fine china, crystal, silverware section. I was aghast. When I inquired the person said "No one's buying it". They substituted luggage, b/c it was their biggest seller. UGH!
The typical spoon dish started with the Victorians, It was called a 'Spooner'. It was upright. It was left on the table with teaspoons . The spoons were typical silver or silverplate. The more financially comfortable, they were silver. The covered sugar was also left on the table too. This link is to a page that has 'spooner' in a nice group. At one point I collected three 'Moon & Stars' spooners to use for buffet for forks, knives, and spoons. In a moment of wishing to get a niece- in-law interested in old stuff & glass, I gave her one and said I'd just EBAY for another one--OOPs. I went through the cupboards and gave her oodles of stuff. Her DH paid for shipping back to Memphis. It was great fun.

I too have every nook and cranny filled with glass. But since the NIL experience, I have started to gift allot of my finds. One recent bowl that was cut glass from Poland--gorgeous, about 1 1/2-2qt size. I paid 22$(1/2 off
. Not sure of worth. I purposefully didn't try to find it. I wanted to gift it to my dear neighbor. It's real worth may have dissuade me from gifting it. I gave it to her the other night b/c they entertain allot over the holidays.I have learned the fun of gifting glass is really heartwarming. The surprise of an unexpected gift that is just fun. My neighbor admired the bowl so much, then I said it was her Christmas gift early, so, she could use it for Thanksgiving and X-mas. If you could have seen her eyes and snatching it to her chest. Wellllll, lovely
The green glass in the curio. The pattern is OPTIC, I think. I'll take a look and let you know. Plus, I'll work on the bamboo etched glass. Try and get a close-up of your amber glass. Also, the square amber dish in the bottom curio. Just learned today while looking for the trifle bowl, that older trifle dishes had individual serving dishes exactly in the form of your pieces. Trifle dishes were different than custard dishes. Take a close up and may be I can locate it.
Poor DS, I have too much stuff. I've suggested that he keep this house as a 'cottage'. He could never afford this property over in Tampa, if he marries--I hope- his new gal. They have many many life long friends here. It would be perfect respite. No encumberances. Would be financially easy for the two of them. Lawyer and she has a masters in finance. Yes, they will get a property eventually over there that is suitable. This would be a lovely place to relax and entertain family and friends on this side of the state.
My Mantra, since I stopped collecting Waterford--Sheila pattern has always been all my finds have to 'work' for their place in storage. That's why it was so funny to me about the Colony plate I posted. OMD, it's one of the rarest pieces in that Fostoria collection. Chit, now I'll worry about it.

Mags, Link to Anchor Hocking Block Optic-----looks like a good match, but not perfect. Going to look at more. Hazel atlas etc.http://www.replacements.com/webquote/AHCBLOG.htm#7918853

Chevy, Philly is doing good. Chemo this week. She sounded great the day after chemo which has not always been the case. Her scans from last Friday show no advancement. YAY. This is huge. So very happy. She is staying with BFF. She talks with DS very often-daily, and they go to very fun restaurants together. Her Ds is very much into Asian and maybe Indian(?) food. Anyways, she describes the food and I just want to be there
As far as the votive candle, it's great that you re-purposed it. Things must ' work for their space ' LOL. Those Partylite votive towers, I pd 5$ a piece. Apparently, new they go for 50$ each. Ebay list was 36$. It was such a GREAT thrift day, I will always schedule early morning appointments from now on.Still coming down from the Colony find, it will take awhile. LOL I get excited about the strangest things. Would have loved to of had a BP/pulse reading at the moment of identifying
-
Mags This is AH Block optic, but I couldn't find your exact piece. Working............
-
Mags are these your glasses?
The list price is for cordials. Cordials are rarely used today. Who can afford Liquers. Besides we don't sit long enough to savor a wonderful liquer--like amarreto etc. You have wine glasses. So, without doing any further research. If this are your pattern. Yes, your wine glasses are more valuable than the liquers. List price on EBAY can be from ridiculously low to ridiculously high. But this initial search with keywords " Bamboo etched glass 1950's" Produced a good listing. All so far are Noritake. Not sure when the Noritake market in the USA opened up. Hers were purchased in Japan. Not sure how that may make a difference. Noritake for the last several decades was a very good market for them b/c it blended into a new modern look. Etched glass of flowers hasn't fared well. But Bamboo is thriving. Won't look more till you tell me this isn't a match

You can always tell when people up North get bored -----

haha.....badger great pics!
Waaaay behind!
Just wanted to pop in and say hello. Went today to be fitted for LE sleeve and glove....mild LE so far. To my surprise I had an impromptu bra and form fitting as well. My insurance pays for 4 bras and a set of forms! When I ordered the knitted knockers and tried them in it just depressed me, but today being fitted properly with a nice bra and forms felt good.
((hugs)) to you all

Dutchie, strap a plow on your scooter & you have a second job.....or you could try your hand at ice sculpture.
I wrote a long post yesterday, I thought it submitted, but NO. I must of hit something wrong.
Stay warm......

Sassy, those are absolutely my glasses. I just took a few pics, I confess mine are horribly dusty, but I have an incredible abundance. Probably four different sizes of cordial/liqueurs, martini, champagne, sherbet, brandy, red and white wine, and water. Most are still full sets of 12, though there are a few missing.
My dad was a Navy officer, stationed in Sasebo from 1955-57, so my folks entertained a lot, thus the need for the massive set. After we came back, we were in a little house in San Diego, dad was at sea most of the time, six kids, we didn't use the stemware. Then he was stationed in Las Cruces, NM, then retired, bought a shabby house, no real furniture. The stemware mostly stayed packed away. Mom got it in the divorce, but never had a place for it. Fast forward to 1999, she was 80, we bought a house that she could live with us in. One of the things we bought was a new nice dining room table and china cabinet. We unpacked the stemware, some of it still in newspaper from 30 years earlier. That Christmas she put a bow on the china cabinet, gifting us the stemware in thanks for giving it, and her, a home. Wish I had someone to pass it on to, but no one in my family cares about stuff like that.
Anyway, here's a pic.
Lots of little ones.
This is the spoon dish.
The square footed bowl is actually only about four inches big, it used to have a lid, but it got broken. It's actually Carnival glass, not amber. Better pic:
I should probably go to bed now. Nini Owlettes

Mags, too bad you don't have someone to leave it too. But maybe it'll change their mind. If you sit them down and look at Replacements.com prices. I added RC.com 's value for water, wine etc, for six types at 12pieces per type. 588$. If you still can't get them interested. When the time comes, you can either sell them at a consignment shop, or EBAY consignment seller. You could Ebay sell them yourself, but it's allot of hassle for the inexperienced. Probably would get a higher value from an Ebay consignment seller b/c your market is more likely a southern climate. The packing for shipment is worth the consignment approach.
Now that you know the manufacturer and pattern name you can google " Noritake Bamboo" and follow it over time. Here' this link to RC.com
http://www.replacements.com/webquote/NC_BAM.htm
The dish you call a spooner, please, take a pic from above. The fact that you say it had a lid? Cool, I'll learn something new if it is a spooner. Did you looker at the link that was of old spooners?
Did she have china to match the Bamboo cryrstal? Noritake?
Please take a pic of the amber carnival glass from the tip. Any makers mark on the bottom?
-
Mags, I used search term--amber carnival opalescent glass It brought this up Identified it as AH, but sunflower pattern isn't listed at RC.com
"Vintage Glass, Anchor Hocking Carnival Glass, Amber Sunflower Pattern Bowl, Retro Yellow Glass" won't link.
Put effectively the same thing in for images. This brought up many patterns, but your pattern is scattered through out many time. I didn't click on all. You can if you like
None that I click on had manufacturer except the AH one and it's not a correct pattern. Doesn't mean it's not AH, just wrong pattern. To view all of AH is very time consuming. I've learned to let Ebay sellers do the work and then go to RC.com to verify. Have fun
Still please do pic of spoon dish. Seriously doubt it's a spooner particularly with a lid, but until it's verified anything is possible. Also, it may have been repurposed and the use was handed down as such. Not unusual, I repurpose things all the time.

Sheesh the square pedestal one is going to be hard. This is a red one on Ebay. Is the pattern the same. Seller lazy and didn't identify manufacturer and pattern. -
Mags, took a different approach on the square pedestal amber carnival glassware. Looked under candy dishes. Scroll the page, Look at each feature of the base. I saw at least six different colors. Either it was produced as only a candy dish or it's from a pattern that had many different colors.
http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_kw=carnival+glass+square+candy
your's could be candy dishes without lids or from the same pattern. Anyways the trail is hot versus cold.
But must go soak, BBL

Sassy – first, you are awesome. Looking all this stuff up – I know how I get with a passion. (And there I am at 1 am, taking pictures in my dining room.) A few notes:
1. The footed compote is the one that had a lid that broke. Your link took me right to it, here's the one:
This is mine:
2. The spoon dish didn't have a lid. My mom said her grandma had it on her dining room table with spoons which is why she called it a spoon dish. Don't know that was an official name for this piece. Here is a pic from above:
Hard to get a good pic of clear glass.
3. At one point in time we had a few different sets of china, but my mom used them for everyday since after we got back from Japan it was all she ever had. The few pieces that survive are chipped. Some pieces are marked Rose China, which I understand was the mark Noritake used right after the war when their slips were considered subpar. I have a matching large platter and gravy boat (chipped) with that mark.
4. I have ten different glass styles of the stemware, three sizes/shapes of cordial/liqueur, sherbet, martini, champagne, white wine, red wine, brandy, and water. (One glass I thought was a cordial seems to be a red wine, but I'm no expert on that, obviously.)
5. The sunflower carnival glass bowl was actually my first piece, brought home from the dump by my first DH in 1973. I loved it, and now have 4, one of which is marigold, not carnival. I have several more carnival pieces, which I'll try to find for you, now that you've pointed me in that direction.
This is fun!

Morning all, where's Chevy???? Sas & Rose, love all the glass photos & info. Sas has got me looking & buying a little. We are downsizing, so I am trying to keep myself from gathering more stuff. Since we have listed our house, I have been buying stuff to make the house look clean & fresh. Bathroom stuff, hardware on different cabinets...a few new light fixtures....
Happy Sunday....I did a Turkey dinner last week. Family will be out of town so did it early. Starting to get some of the Xmas stuff out. Hopefully I can keep that under control. I have lots of decorations, but I have recycled some of the tired, old stuff.

Hi Golf Girl, did you see my rare Colony by Fostoria -- thrift. Litlle unsupposing pedestal petitfore dish 7 1/4 in . Couple pages back maybe , or one page. I was excited to find it.--------Mags, RC.com doesn't have a pattern called Marigold. Checked federal glass they didn't either. Indiana glass bought out all federal glass. Kept the patterns renamed some. "The games still afoot-Watson".
-
Marigold is the color, not the pattern. Some marigold is iridescent, like 3 of my sunflower bowls but one bowl is just plain marigold, not iridescent. I'll see if i can get a pic for differentiating.
The one in the front is not iridescent.

mags, sorry got sidetracked. I'm betting a " Oblong footed celery dish scalloped edge"This isn't exact, but close

still looking
http://www.patternglass.com/Store/Relish/index.htm
I get it your mom used it for a spoon rest for cooking? Above link has numerous, celery/relish/spoon rest dishes.

-
I suppose it could be depression glass, but what would be the years that covered? It would have been the early 1920's. My great-grandfather was a Civil War vet, my mom was born in 1918, but I'll have to look up when my great-grandmother died.
