    Good morning Glassies.

    Got home late last nite and had no chance to check in till now.
    Cool with rain today here in the DC area. Supposed to rain on and off the rest of the week.

    Off to scroll the board.

    Might as well join in. LOL I'm 57 and my MIL got me started on glass. She gave my DW a piece of Fortune DG about 10 years ago. During the next few years, DW mistakenly got pieces of Old Cafe and Queen Mary. After some time, I told her to learn what she was buying or I would. My looking and research eventually brought me to the Ebay glass chat room. There my eyes were opened to the world of wonder that is glass. Just like that, a junky was born some 6 years ago. As my eyes were opened, it was Stretch glass and Opalescent Glass that grabbed me. I'm also awed and amassed by the talent of those who made open work glass.

    Thank you all for the education you have shared with this still Infant Glassy.

    @dbfrogs Fran. When I missed you on Sunday, I was trying to confirm 3 CW pieces my MIL has. Now that I'm home and have my books, I was able to confirm 1. Need to confirm the others. Sorry I have no photos.
    #1. 8" plate with centered indent. It has a rased base much like a bowl. Is #400/50 correct. What piece should sit on it.
    #2. Number for 8" center heart handled server. My books don't show/describe the heart handles.

    @newt0n Jim, how does Thursday sound for a meet.
