Period glass


Ok I am not sure what this pink glass is called, but my friend that collects Santa's also collects this. It is in her dining room and she has some lovely pieces.

    Hi Neva
    This is one of my favourites.. it is known as Cranberry Glass.

    http://antiques.about.com/cs/otherglass/a/aa111400.htm

    Theres lots on the internet about this as it is very collectable.. Also another kind which is gaining in value is the glassware given as prises at fairs shows and where it gets its name from 'Carnivals'

    Hope you don't mind the links but as this is an interest to me a couldn't help it.

    I did have some of both these collectables at one time but they went to Ebay along with lots of other stuff to pay bills after I was first taken ill and unable to work. I still follow the interest but do not collect now.

    Thanks Old Tom for answering the question...it is very beautiful. Your friend's display is quite stunning. I cannot believe all that snow still lying around where you live...I expect you are wishing for Spring to arrive.
