I haven't had much time to hit the thrifts or c-list this last week. Oh, there's been lots of good stuff on c-list but I just haven't had the opportunity to snatch it up. Plus it's nice to have a little room in the house after thinning some out some of the stock lately.
Not only is this milkglass, but it's Hobnail style...AND it's functional. The valve actually works, so
one could put a real plant in the planter part and keep it alive! So yeah, this is headed to the booth at
The Green Shag just as soon as I can get down there again. It may stick out like a sore thumb in my
booth but everything eventually finds it's new home in there.
And then there's the ubiquitous Libbey Silver Foliage. This time four parfait / beer steins. I count
myself lucky that I found an appreciation for this pattern since I seem to find lots of it around town! I
found these in a bag behind the bar still wrapped up in paper. I have no idea how long they've been
back there...and I can't remember where I got them from! It's almost like Christmas in...August? All
I need is a tall glass of eggnog...ew.
Back in the 60s, the lavabo rose to stardom, usually with those weird rubber grapes in the bowl part. Every woman I knew had one, including my mother and both grandmothers.
