Glass Chatroom Board

Good day Glass Board.

Life has been such that I don't even fire this confuser up but once in a blue moon.
Was looking thru email to cleaning it out and saw the notification that NancyP had mentioned me so I looked in.

Thank you all so much for the B Day wishes. It warms my heart to think I'm still thought of. Please know that all on the board are in my nightly prayers, wishing you good health and happiness as-well as good hunting.

Once again, Thank you all !!!

JAGofC...Tony

Good nite all. Tony

decoqueen Janice, Don’t know why they wouldn’t work for me yesterday. They are working fine today. Sooo many DDG pieces that I could look at closely. Thank you again for sharring and putting up with this slower than most guy.

@fran Fran, hope you are feeling better.

Tony

@decoqueen Janice, Thank you. The Tiffin Stem is stunning. Thank you for sharing.

@neacenacks Mable, when I had that trouble, I had to reset my computer to a set point before I had installed the new toolbar.
I'm not that good with these confusers but I'm sure others will have better ways of dealing with your trouble.

@donscns Don, Thanks for setting me straight. I will certainly give Gail the thanks and credit she deserves. Still, it was very nice of you to cover the coffee during her trip.

Tony

@decoqueen Janice, Thank you so much. I could not get the thumbprints to open on your site. I would love it if you could post a link to a regular size pic of the set. Is that taller stem in the center also Morgantown? Looks the part.

Thank you again....Tony

Good morning Glassies all.

Today makes two beautiful days in a row. Chance of sprinkles early AM tomorrow then three or more days of great weather. The weather man said that is the longest stretch of good weather since June. I’ll take it and am loving it as winter seams to be coming much to soon.

@decoqueen Janice, Thank you so much. I have only seen the Arena pieces in Blue and Green and never in that size except for yours and the Brown/Amber Five I have. I have never seen the Rack. There is a great variance in the sizes of those pieces. The jigger is said to be 2 5/8” tall. LOL I am in contact with the Old Morgantown Glass Collectors Guild and have sent them a pic with dimensions so they can add this size to the next Book. May I send them your pic as another example of them in this size. If you ever see one in the Brown/Amber or the rack please let me know as I would love to complete my set.

@fran Hope you feel better soon. You take it easy and I’ll hope for the best.

@carma Carl Congrats to Marley. You must be beaming with pride. Will be rooting for her and the Saints. !!!GO SAINTS!!!

@donscns Don, just love the coffee today. Don’t know how you all find those things in such variety. Thanks.

@newtonenterprises Jim, Last time at the country house I went to some Flee markets and picked up my first two pieces of Crown Tuscan. The little Cornucopia and a Small Vase. Think I did OK. Have no pics yet but will show them to you when I can. Think I will get no more till I can afford a lovely Lady piece or two.

Tony…On my way out.

Hi all.

Just scrolling the board as I had a little time.

Hope all those up north who have no power get it back soon. My prayers are with you. Hang in there.

@decoqueen Janice, Looking at your beautiful pieces on the link. On the line with the six pack of red tumblers with the white line decoration. I think they may be Morgantown. Would you be so kind to post a pic from the side of one with dimensions? I would like to compare it with a set I have in Amber Glass. BTW, I just love those Deco Ladies. Wonderful Collection. Made a mess of my keyboard. LOL

Tony

Shelly, the country house is in Garret co. Maryland. That little triangle part at the far western point of the state. Well across the eastern continental divide. On the map, it would be 5 minutes from exit 4 on I-68.

Good nite all.

Tony

STL just won the series 6-2.

Tony

Hi all.

Getting colder here in DC. Forecast is for possible flurries here Saturday nite and 1”-6” west between here and the country house.

The Rangers are down 6-2 with 1 more at bat. Would like to see them win but it’s not looking good.

Tony

Good day all.....Tony

Hi all.

Full day and then came home to make dinner. Fed DW and watched some TV with her before she went to bed. You think I'm a bit of a nite-owl. Good thing as now I have a bit of time to stop in and scroll the board.

@enchantmentglass Kelli, Looked at your under-plate but have no idea.

@songbreeze Gail, I too open a second small window to post on while I scroll. It makes things so easy. Have fun on your trip and take pics of DGbaby and family.

@shellyrae37 Shelly. Hi back at ya! Amazing aren't they. The genetic drive to move is so strong they have no care or fear. Just have to go where their genes tell them poor things.

@fran Fran, love your beaded cake, and chocolate to boot. YUUUMMM!!

Its 12:42herenow so I will post this and go to bed.

Tony

Good morning Glassies all.

Just a drive by to drop this wish off. Busy day today. A bit more rain today then the temps will drop for a few days.

Happy Birthday to Marson & Deb. May your day be filled with JOY.

Tony...out the door.

Shelly, I think the bold might have been me. I missed a close on that last post. I re-posted and deleted the old one. I hope it fixes things.

Tony

Good evening all. Finally got a chance to stop in and scroll.

Fran , A Big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you. Hope it brings you all the JOY your day should.

Don.Thanks for the lesson. I had no idea.

Shelly, Love your Vase. I’m clueless but think it’s purdy.

Gail, A preemptive HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you. Just know you will have a wonderful visit with the family.

Julie , So sorry to hear about your friend and family member. ((((Julie)))) Will keep my prayers focused your way.

Many thanks to you Kurt for the new banner. You out did yourself and made yourself and us proud. Thank you.

It’s getting late and I have a full day tomorrow, so I’ll say good nite.

Tony

Hi all. Been lurking as I have not had much time. Have had nice cool fall days but it will change soon. Rain expected Wed, and then a ten degree drop for the rest of the week to highs in the low to mid 50's. Just a chill and taste of things to come.
I don't mind cool but hate the cold that follows. My tropical blood can't take it below the freezing mark. BURRR! LOL

@fran , Sorry Doug's knee is still hurting him. Don't let him hurry it.

Tony ...off to bed.

Good nite all. Tony

Hi Dave, Yup, the right place. There is no cure sept maybe....More Glass.

Tony

@@scott , Lovely pair of shakers. Those decorators painted such nice things and those who did the reverse painting. WOW, that kind of talent is just beyond me. I have often wished I had talent with a brush. LOL Not that lucky.

Tony...On my way out.

Gail , hope you feel better soon. Gotta take a little time for you and not over-do.
Tony

Me too. Signing off.

Tony

@fran , He must be going nuts. Bet he can't wait to get the wind in his face and bugs in his teeth. LOL You just know he will be grinning ear to ear when next he rides. Give him my best wishes and hopes he will be up to it soon.

Tony

Good evening Glassies all. Just got back from a great WE in the mountains of western Maryland and West VA. Color is at most 1 or 2 weeks from peak. Deer are everywhere to be seen and a flock of turkey passed across the field the other side of the street from my house. Soon they will be hard to find as hunting season will be upon us.

@faeowyn Shari, Your refrigerator box looks to be Hocking. Florence's book, Kitchen Glassware of the Depression Years shows it but gives no pattern name. Just calls it, Panelled refrigerator dish 8" x 8", 4" x 8", 4" x 4". It had a cover.

Tony

Hi all. Scrolled the board and found the discussion most interesting and enlightening. Headed out for the WE tonight. Expect to be back around Monday evening.

BFN Tony

Hi all. Biusy day for me bu thought I'd stop in before hitting the sheets.

@carma Carl, thank you for the warning. Made notes so I see it each time I look thru the books.

Good nite. Tony

@songbreeze Gail, Thanks for your efforts. I ordered the book the day I posted those and it arrived nite before last. I spent the evening looking thru it and understand your point. About the Tumbler. If it is confirmed, it is of a size not known before. I hope my thoughts are proved correct.

@Suzy , glad Carma could set us both strait.

Tony….BBL

Good morning all.

@carma , Thanks for the tell of the Shell Beaded opal pieces. Made a note of it. Are the Carnival pieces re-po’d aswell. If so, how can one tell?

Out the door in a few. BBL

Tony

Dead here tonight. I'm off to bed. Good nite. Tony

@Suzy , I believe that in Opalescent it is Shell Beaded By Dugan. In Carnival they call it Beaded Shell. HTH

Look Here. http://ddoty.com/beadedshell.html

Tony

Hi all. Busy today till now so could not stop in.

The other day I posted some Morgantown hopefuls. I have now confirmed the small Blue Vase is indeed Morgantown. The Tumbler is likely Morgantown also but will be sending pics and dimensions to the Old Morgantown Glass Collectors’ Guild for confirmation. From what I have seen so far, I believe they are.

@goodwinantiques Leah,I am always stunned by the beautiful pieces you post for us to see. Thanks for sharing them with us.

Tony

Good nite all. Tony

@songbreeze , COOL!

Tony

Good morning. Tony

Good nite all. Tony

Fran & George, Just found another. Also from Vol II. Cape Cod, No. 160.

#1608X 11” Fruit bowl– # 1608A,11” Salad Bowl and #1608F, 13 1/2” Torte Plate. On p. 229. Undoubtedly part of another set. On next page other sets and # 1608V 13 1/2” Plate, Cupped Edge, #1608X, 11” Flanged Edge Bowl and #1608A 10” Round Bowl.

On the same page are also shown, #16010V. 3-piece Buffet Set With a 5” Mayonnaise Bowl.

Gee Fran, get the answer to one question and now I cant stop reading,studying and learning. Can't put the book down till the Brain gets filled up or stops asking new questions. Are there more? What will I find next? Whoa!!!

Tony

Hi @Shellyrae37 & @decoqueen , Great Site. Here is another. The museum is not open yet but they hope to open this year. Close to the country house. 🙂

http://www.houzeglassmuseum.com
The Photo gallery is great.

Tony

Good morning Glassies all.
Still cool here in DC. Might get out of the 60’s for our high. It is to warm up into the mid 70’s over the next few days. Winter is coming sooner than I would like.

@Fran . Thank you so much for this great info. Companies do little without a reason so the letters had to have a meaning. I printed the list and added it to my books.

@scott & @carma . I enjoyed the info on the Ashtray. Neat to see how research runs it’s course and leads one all over the place. Amazing how many things must be found during the journey.

Finished my scroll and have much to do today so will sign off for now. BBL

Tony

Thanks to you both. Fran and Gail.

Going to get of to bed too.

Good nite. Tony

Thanks Fran , before I got my question posted you answered it. Guess I can delete it.
Guess I should learn to type with more than 2 fingers.
Tony

@fran . What does the letter on the end stand for? (B&D) Is it that some of these pieces are meant to be used together in different configurations. IE: same plate used with differing bowls and/or sets of 2,3 or more pieces. Candlewick is hard.

Tony

@fran , Just starting to pat myself on the back and had to stop. LOL One of these days I'll get one right. Gotta keep trying.

Tony

Duhhhh, Here I was wondering why the @ was not working for me. Duhhh!!! It should be @songbreeze . DUHHHH!!

Tony

Hi all. Quite cool here in DC today. Even colder now.

@oklahomasong Gail, I think your bowl and plate/liner are400/42B 4 3/4" 2 Handled Fruit.
and
400/42D 5 1/2" 2 Handled Plate.

When Fran comes in, She will confirm if I'm learning a thing or not. LOL

Tony

Good nite all. Tony

Good morning all.

Tony

Good nite all. Tony

@George, I guess that it for now. Perhaps in the future we may be able to find out more. Thank you much for the info and clarity. Still a lovely set and I will continue to enjoy it.

Tony

@gabla George, Based on Shetlar and the base of the bowl, the closest bowl is Northwood. Then again, Shetlar does not include Morgantown.

Tony

Good nite, Tony

That's a cute coffee this morning Gail.

Hope you have a Great Day.

Tony....Hoping this html works.

Don't worry about it, Gail. I've been told that it has much more in it than the one I have. Plan to buy it but that will have to wait some. As I said, when you have time to kill. No rush at all.The set is mine and is not going anywhere.

Tony

I also have a set of 5 tumblers that might also be Morgantown. My "Morgantown Glass" By Jeffrey Snyder, is a nice book but not very comprehensive. Here is a pic of it.
http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2011-9/1369615/IMG_0650.JPG

OOps. Where are my manners. Just pushing this on you. I do know that it is getting late. If you could take a look when you have time I would be so grateful.

Tony

That is GREAT. I have two pieces that I think are Morgantown. I think I have proved the little Vase is but am unsure of the bowl. I’m hoping!
Here are the pics.

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2011-9/1369615/IMG_0616.JPG

The bowl is 13" across and the vase is 6" tall and about 3" at it's widest point.
Tony

Hi all. Just a last check in before going to bed.

Hi Julie.

Gail, I couldn’t agree more. Try to learn. Look and study and look some more, only to find out what you thought you had has been reproduced. Glass is hard enough without all that. Do you happen to have the book; A handbook to Morgantown Glass, By Jerry Gallager?

Tony

@tombredehoft Tom, Thank you for the confirmation. I was wondering as the sketch in McCain looked as though there was a row of Daisies or buttons at the edge of the cover. Mine has no pattern near the edge of the cover where it sits on the base/comport section.
I always get al those Daisy and Button or Bows mixed up. Good thing that most know it well enough to not get thrown. LOL

Tony

@Donscns Don, the more I thought about it the more I figured it had to be Mosser. One can dream. 🙂

@carma Carl, thanks for the head's up. I just tried one of my pics and got blocked by my blocker. What a bother as I just did two bulk uploads of pics to photobucket last night. I'll use tiny pic or village photos for the time being.

@oklahomasong Gail, don't you think twice about it. I can use all the help I can get and besides that, I get it wrong more often than not. I thank you most kindly for the help and your efforts.

@gabla George, Got it. Thank you so much for the help.

I so appreciate the help and education I get from all the wonderful Glassies here.

@ginnyrose Carol, I looked but kbow nothing. Sorry.

Tony

@decoqueen Janice, Could be Mosser. It just looked to me as though it had some shelf wear. The Mosser would be newer glass, No? I couldn't get a good enough look on that Mosser site.

@gabla George, In McCain, they say that LATE THISTLE (Inverted Thistle) was made in Crystal and Ruby Stained. No mention of color. I don't know Jack about Cambridge Colors. With my luck, it will be Mosser. LOL

Tony...out the door for a few errands. BBL

Could it be? Wouldn’t it be great. Could the Thistle Butter be Cambridge?

http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c336/JAGofC/IMG_0624.jpg

http://ddoty.com/invthistle.html

Looking for confirmation, or something.

Gotta run. BBL

Tony

@oklahomasong Gail, The Fan above the File is quite different from Star and File. I wonder if it was used as the basis for the re-issue.

Tony

@mainewildrose Sue, Thank you and I did understand . 🙂 Those buttons cut in half on the cover made me think Bows.
My first thought when I saw the Decanter at my MIL's home was Imperial. I dismised that for some reason I cant
't remember now and never looked there again. Ironically, I have that Imperial three book set. 😳 I guess I must learn to trust my instincts more.

Tony

Thank you George. Did you have a piece listed at one point that had that same finial? I know I saw that somewhere but can’t remember where.
I made a note of it to put in the dish when I go back next month.
The shame of it is that I looked at that piece very carefully three times before bidding and when I got it there was a small chip on one of the feet. You can just see it on the left side of the center foot. Just follow the sheen down to it. A small flake about 1/8” or so. 🙁 Still a lovely piece I will enjoy and would have one day sold.

Tony

Got this Buttons & Bows covered piece. Don’t know Who,when.

Tony

Good morning Glassies all.

Hope all are well and had a good WE.

Warm and scattered rain again here in DC today and for the next couple days. Then turning cooler with highs only in the 60's into next week.

Had a great WE and got a few pieces of glass at an estate auction in PA. Will post some pics later.
Scrolled the board from Friday night to catch up.

Tony

@newt0n Thanks Jim. Will try to be safe. Don't know if I'll get a chance to check in again before we leave. Soooo....Bye for now.
Tony

Back from the store. Knew I should have gone earlier this morning.

@newt0n Jim, The skies opened up as soon as I got to Giant. Comming down hard now. Maybe 1/2-3/4 inch per hour now.

@songbreeze Gail, I wanted to bid on the Honey Box myself but knew it would go higher than I can afford at this time. Shame. I think that piece is lovely and would just love to have it. OHHH WELLLLL. 😥

Tony

Going to the mountains tonight, will be back sometime on Tuesday. Have to get a few thins for the trip.I should get it done before the rain get worse.
Will check back in later. Tony

@newt0n Hi Jim..Just a misty Drizzle so far. Just looked out the window. It is starting to pick-up a bit.
Tony

@newplace MM, Congrats on your sale of the Honey Box. http://www.ebay.com/itm/120780140178?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
WTG.

Tony

Good morning. Tony

Good nite all. Tony

Good Day all.

Don, I have another window open to the ebay chat and had no trouble logging on. Also checked my summery page with no issues.

Bill, congrats on those fabulous sales. WTG

Tony

good nite all. Tony

@reen Thank you so much for looking and the info.
The lamp is not in my hands at this point. so I cant do better than this photo. I should be able to get it this WE as I will be going to the country again. I'll try to get with her and get that.

According to the lady who owns it, it was in her mothers house "as is" since before she was born. She is not young. At least in her mid seventies. She told me that she had no reason to doubt it being original. Still anything is possible.
I'll Google as you suggest and see what more I can discover. Thank you again for your help..

Tony

@songbreeze Gail, It sure is. It belongs to the lady holding it.
I've been looking for some time in an effort to help her with no luck. I can use all the help I can get.

Tony

Hi all.

Scrolled the board but as usual I'm no help.

I do have a question. I have been looking for an ID on an Oil Lamp with no luck. I thought I would post it here in hopes of something to go on.

The burner is ROYAL. More I don't know.

First a shot of the lamp. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c336/JAGofC/IMG_0343.jpg

Next the shade. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c336/JAGofC/IMG_0341.jpg

The burner. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c336/JAGofC/IMG_0340.jpg
And another. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c336/JAGofC/IMG_0339.jpg
The knob. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c336/JAGofC/IMG_0338.jpg

TIA for any comments.

Tony

Happy Birthday, JimD. Hope you have a wonderful day. and a Great year.

Hi all.
Had to come out of lurk mode.

@scott Scott, Thank you for sharing more of your Chrysanthemum Sprig collection. They are stunning to behold. Just gorgeous.

@glassusa Bob, WHOOO HOOO!!! What a great sale. You must be so pleased. Congrats!!

It's almost midnight so I'm off to hit the sheets. Good nite all.

Tony

@Suzy , Have to agree how DDG it looks when lit up and glowing. Perhaps I’ll have a chance to see one that way one day. I hope,I hopeI hope. 🙂

Finished scrolling the board so will go sit in front of the tube with DW for a bit.

Tony

Hi glassies. If you watch "Buried Treasure" on fox. Tey have a Boston and Sandwich Coin bank with the rooster on top on the show right now.

Tony

@wattleihavenext Julie, wow!!! That bowl is absolutely DDG. I know nothing so please let us know if you ever get an ID.

@suzy , Sorry if I offended. Your (I think) Louis XV is beautiful as is the Custard Glass as a whole. I was trying to say how much that Blue pops from it’s surroundings. That color grabs me and makes something inside me light-up. Poor choice of words/comparison on my part.

Tony...Off to the corner.

Good morning. Tony...Off to scroll.

@scott In VCPG book 4, the color is referred to as both Blue Custard and Blue Opaque. I guess the latter would make more sense. Either will work I guess, and in truth I am writing this to try to get it to stick in this sieve that is my brain.

Tony....Trying hard to learn.

Scott, that blue makes the Custard look boring. May I copy that pic.

Tony

Gail, If you have a second window open to write in, refresh the page you are reading before you hit post on the other. Then refresh the main page again. That should help.

Tony

Yes she is. One of many here.

Tony...Lurkin and learnin.

@songbreeze Gail, Don't feel to bad, I had to read it twice. Missed it the first time .

@itsagas Bill, I used Vrane. It worked well for me but, it has been a couple years since I used it. If memory serves, it was FREE.

Tony

Gail , Think so. Based on her last post @ 10;30 AM. Check the last three lines.
Still, who knows. Might just be a coincidence.

Tony

Gotta go. BBL....Tony

Shari , Is this your dog? Not sure how good the info is on the link but, it's a place to start.

http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/st-clair-green-dog-head-toothpick-93110847

Tony

@jpthings Bear, Glad you made it to the new glass board.Nice place. There are some changes from Ebay. Check out the 'How To" Manual tab to see them.

Welcome to our new home....Tony

Good morning, Tony

Gail, I did look thru all my Oil Lamp places and found nothing. Sorry.

@songbreeze Gail, Love your coffee gif today. Been looking at the board but know nothing.

Tony

@jmart8248 IreneM, It's no fun feeling poorly, hope you feel better soon.

Tony

OMG, The rain stopped and I see the sun and shadows. Tony

@songbreeze Gail, I agree. There is nothing like seeing and touching a piece in person.
We have had about 20' of rain between Irene and now Katia. So much water.
I have worried about the loss of frogs over the last few decades. So many varieties are gone. As a keystone species, it does not bode well for this planet....SCARY.

Tony

Forgot to add. The frog/Toad was compliments of Dave.
Tony

A special FROG for today.

After 8 Decades, Tiny Toad Resurfaces in Asia.

Hope this works.

http://green.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/07/15/after-8-decades-tiny-toad-resurfaces-in-asia/

What a story. Tony

Much to do today. BBL....Tony

Good morning.

@songbreeze Gail, thanks for the coffee. Sitting here, cup in hand, getting an early look at the board.

@scott Scott, glad you were able to stay ahead of the water.

Had a dream last night of beautiful Nekid Ladies offering me plates of candies and other delicacy's.

Tony....still seeing beautiful things in my mind's eye.
