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

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

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:

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.0 -
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.

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.
