Sentimental Glass

Yesterday brought up loads of memories of Thanksgiving and Christmas that I forgot to share. Beckie's adorable picture of her daughter and goblet made me think of the special glassware that my Grandma used on the 2 major holiday gatherings. I felt really special being able to use these glasses. They were just beautiful. There was also a pitcher that she served Iced tea in.
When my Grandmother passed away I received 3 glasses and a vase.The rest was divided amongst my 2 Aunt's and maybe a few of my cousins that cared to have any. My hubby broke one of the glasses soon after we were married and I have not used them since. They are on display in my China cabinet. I pulled them out to take this picture.
If you or someone you know has any glass like the ones pictured,and would like it to go to a loving home...call me!

You know that glass looks familar to me. I think my mother has glasses like that. I will have to go look. They are pretty and old-fashioned.

They also look familiar to me. They look similar to some my grandmother has but I think the shape is different. My grandmother is 87 years old and still alive and kicking so I can't take them away from her though!

Have you tried Ebay or an online company such as China Replacements? Perhaps if you know the manufacturer and style you could find some more.

They're really pretty. I've always liked my Mam-ma's set.

I think my grandma had those in an amber color. Very cool!

It fun to drink out of "grown up" glasses. I should pull them out at our holiday meals.

junebug~ Yes they are pretty.

SS~ I bet a lot of ppl know someone with a glass collection similar.No, I don't know the name of the manufacturer. I found a vase in Germany that looked just like it and I bought it and it was a different shade of green...more of an emerald.

I know I have seen those from time to time at garage sales, thrift stores, etc. I will try to remember to keep an eye out for them and buy any I come across for you. The amber color may be more common.

I know that they came in amber, clear and green. I do know you can still find them in antique stores, but I don't know the name of them. They are pretty!
