good afternoon, y'all.
my off the wall glass question of the day concerns the dog with hat toothpick made by the belmont glass company, circa 1885. all the ones i've ever seen except for the one i own were crystal. mine is blue, and although i bought it for a real one 40 years ago from a reputable dealer, when i read later in kovel's that they had been reproduced, i began to doubt mine. (as an afterthought i realized that it would have been far classier to take out the toothpicks, but he is a working model.)
then today, when i was wandering in the pattern glass museum (scroll all the way down) i found the belmont glass company ice cream set and two of the inserts are the same color glass as my dog. does anyone know if belmont made the dog with hat in other glass than crystal?
thanks.
