You'd think I save something special for a day like today. I just don't roll that way. Posting daily means I just don't have time to plan what I post about on say "Fridays". I would have liked to have had something really cool for today, but this little lot ain't nothing to sneeze at, right?
I love finding Franciscan pieces and picking up this Duet patterned pitcher at Treasure Aisle is no different.
It's in very good condition and was a pretty good bargain, considering it came from an antique mall. There
is only one little flea bite chip but strangely it's on the handle and not on the spout, where you normally (for
some reason) find them. So this will be strategically positioned in the china cabinet to show it's better side.
While the Franciscan Duet pitcher is a keeper, these five little Dorothy Thorpe style cordial (maybe?)
glasses will be tagged and dragged down to the booth space (#5) at The Green Shag Market. I've got
plenty to take down there but just finding the time to get it done...that's the tough part. These are in
excellent shape with no fading or scratches on the chrome rim.
I even managed to find a set of four Libbey Silver Foliage tumblers over the weekend. I'm going to
drop these off at The Shag as well. I've already got a pretty big collection of this line so letting a few
bits and pieces go here and there won't hurt...much. But anyway, did ya see the new banner up top?
Congrats on the big FOUR DIGITS! Yay! Keep it up, you know we love it.
ReplyDeleteI would think the Dorothy Thorpe-style glasses are rocks aka "old-fashioned" glasses; 6-10 oz for serving whiskey with ice, or lowball cocktails. Most modern bar sets have double old-fashioneds, in keeping with the modern trend of super-sizing beverages.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on 1000 and here's to 1000 more!

ReplyDeleteHmmm. I just left a set of 8 Libbey Glasses like those at Goodwill. $1/each.
