Good Morning
Well, thank you all for your comments and information about my link I posted last night. I really felt George would already have considered that company as a possible source. Since I was clearly at fault, I bow my head and take my Pink Slap with pride. Fran, thank you for the information that I should "Point" not link. With that in mind and my middle finger raised high, Ebay, I point at you!!! ***Don

George That hon has been done by the usual suspects, mostly over the big pond.Two reasons. It is an ugly blue and shiny. Also, the individual previously discussed has a cellar full of molds , some marked, some unmarked,which he uses indiscriminately,and frequently, with some glass houses that are still in business. Some are marked, some not.Grown men argue over them, and some get pink slapped trying to help..although I don't know what E-Bay or the perpetrator has against that innocuous little company. LOL I would not attempt to identify the maker. Do you shoot skeet? Off to the glass show in Harrisburg PA. JimD

  Good Morning Glassies....;o)
|

Janice - I'll keep you in my thoughts. Don't remember if I told you, but the trinket boxes got a very warm reception! Thanks again for being such a doll. Kelli - the pretty amber glasses look like they're wearing a tutu :) Julie - DirecTV has a horse racing channel that sometimes shows races in Australia. I think of you every time one comes on. Carma - saw my share of earthquakes when living in Anchorage & Albuquerque but never had one directly under my house. Think I'll pass on that experience. Susan

Hi Back at you MArypat It is great to see you being able to spend a little time on the GB. Julie
|
|
Hi all, and dear Julie, good to see you all... Anyone in Beach Cities, heading down to Del Mar for the Antique Show this W/E I have two Free Passes and a $10. gift certificate you are welcome to. Value about $30. I am pretty close to the 405... So all it would cost you is $8.00 parking. It is at the Del Mar Fair Grounds... BIG SHOW. Takes a day to see it all. (Well, for me at least.) slowerthanmost
|
|
Good afternoon everybody, It is even hotter today then it was yesterday sigh I think I have melted!!! Janice Postive thoughts being sent your way. Kelli In the past when I was selling Fitz & Floyd Pottery always sold well.I am sure your little set will be a hit this time of year BTW DDG decanter set. Geeze Don when you plan on posting something that warrants a Pink Slap, please wait till I am around, so I know why you were slapped :)
Julie who Looked at everyones pretty but sorry I am no help as usual.
|
|
Go to the projects site and scroll down! There pretty crafty!
|
|
|
Oh,pooh. I missed the post. Busy running back and forth watching House re-runs. Wondering what Rosso would have to do with anything that's pink slappy???
|
|
George there is a glass hens group on yahoo groups that will be able to help you. Chris
|
|
|
Kelli, you are entirely to modest
|
|
Don, it was definitely freezing here last weekend. Oh, I don't miss those Saturday morning soccer games - the kids didn't feel the cold at all, while we parents were miserable.
Irene, hardly, I just happen to know a couple of things at a convenient time is all. But I am glad you got a lead on your vase!
|
|
|
Don sorry I missed it. george
|
|
|
Kelli......There was snow over at Pie Town and Datil about two weeks ago. Magdalena mountains were white for a day as well. Since then, bright and sunny. Wood hunting last Saturday, had to have the sun screen on. I understand last Saturday in your area friends from Socorro were freezing watching their kids play soccer at some complex in Taylor Ranch. Such is New Mexico weather.....lol. ***Don

Kelli, I so agree, I got P*****d for using an anatomically correct word in the proper context. What with every thing that has been going on I forgot to thank you for the link to the J.I Co (Murano). Found exactly what I was looking for but nobody can seem to agree on the origins or factory of this Co. And as always IMHO you are the undisputed Glass Queen. I humbly bow in your presence.

Decided to clean up the kitchen and then have a bed time snack. itsagas/Bill Didn't doubt the term rigaree. Ive seen the application of same. But never knew what it was called. Can't wait to say to somebody "Oh, that's rigaree."
I am really gone this time.
Helen in Indy

|
|
Gosh did somebody else get p*****d, thought for sure I would be the next one AGAIN, G2M
|
|
Don I know Westmoreland made a lot of stuff for the Rosso's so it could be them who wholesaled it. The gal who owned it was old enough to have got it before the molds were marked.
george
|
|
Who in the world would report that post? It was simply for education - I swear, some folks should get a life.
Don, how's it going down in your neck of the woods? Have you all had snow yet?
|
|
|
I agree, a rigaree is applied just the same way a "drop over" or "pulled back" handle. jrm*rock, I now live in DE. but lived in Little Rock for 10 years. Still trying to pull my life to-gether after the traumatic move, know it will take time but eventually it will all come to-gether, as my Dad used to say "God willing and with a little bit of luck". Hope to be a bit more active pretty soon.

|
|
OH.....I see I have joined the Pink Slap club. Silly me. ***Don
|
|
OK, where did my post to George go?? Did I offend someone? So I will try it this way.
George...... maybe that is a Rosso HON.
***Don

Evening Glassies,
Actually , I should be saying good night glassies as I am soon off to my pillow and my book.
Just had to say that I had never heard the term 'rigaree.' Spell check never heard of it either. LOL. And here two of you have some 'rigaree.'
sunwoman3663/Janice Will be sending good thoughts your way. Hope you'll find that all is well after all.
jrm*rock /Jesse love seeing all of your pretties.
enchantmentglass/Kelli Some beautiful stuff you got. I am envious.
Now for my book and bed.

|
|
GAIL-me too-I am NOT a pro on glass as you all know-but thought it did look like "RIGAREEish" style-I think you are right after seeing that list. Oh well,chalk it up to my silly curisity. LOlucy
|
|
|
OH GEE Kelli-those are scrumpptious-the deco liquor set is just A-!,the cute skirty glasses are devine., Good finds.. Envious me--but I would never find anything here as well as you find stuff where you live. Lucky YOU...
|
|
Kelli~ I like your "Skirt" glasses...But I love that Decanter! Fran;o)
|
|
glass*usa / Bob... I saw those, but without measurements it was hard for me to decide between the #620 for sugar and creamer or the other one on that sight that shows for the cruets... I appreciate you clarifying that for me... Jesse
|
|
|
I second Gail, rigaree is applied to the glass, not part of the mold... Jesse
|
|
Lucy ... I could be wrong, but maybe all these completed auctions are wrong too. lol. Take a look at all the ruffle stuff and see where it's attached to the item...not part of the mold.
Gail
|
|
Lucy ... you're asking the wrong person as I'm still in glassie pre-school. I think rigaree/riggerie/????? rigamajig is when it's all ruffledy like but applied ONTO the item...not a molded part of the item. But actually we will have to wait for the Glassies with the capital 'G'.
Gail
|
|
|
GAIL-would the fluffy trim on your darling bowl be called riggerie.?? I am trying. LOLucy
|
|
?????? Do I refer to a Katydid vase as simply made by Consolidated? Do I refer to a Bluebell vase as simply made by Phoenix? Or should I put Phoenix Consolidated in the title on both? TIA.
Gail
|
|
Bob/glass*usa ... Thanks a zillion. That's it ok. Off to the mall with it. LOL. thanks again.
Gail

Fran - the only artist I know of name Xan does sculpture. It's an intriquing piece and looked a little familiar when I looked at it. BUT my brain's a little fuzzy. If any brilliance occurs, I'll get back to you! Janice PS: That does say Xan, right? Or it is upside down, perhaps?
|
|
I'm going to use the word 'reticulated' 5 times before I go to sleep! Janice
|
|
|
Looks like the same pottery house or job shop, how wild. Use reticulated hearts as some of your key words.
|
|
|
Oops, guess I should've refreshed before I posted, somebody already got that. :)
|
|
Janice, try reticulated hearts in your search.
Good job, Bob!
|
|
Bob in KY~ Way to go! Now you just must have a Cake Party in there! Fran;o)
|
|
Thanks FRAN!! Guess I did ok as I got it for $20 at an antique shop....but the best part is, I added another cakestand to my bathroom collection...lol.......Bob in KY
|
|
Chris - look at the first thing that came up under portugese pottery: 310182491017 Pretty darned close. What is 'reticulated'? Janice PS: I suppose I could google it since my hands are on the 'puter!!
|
|
Chris, it says hand-painted which most of the things from Portugal are. Is there a nicer way to say 'with hearts cut out'??? I just picture open chest wounds when I type it!!!
Let me try... 'with heart shaped openings'??? better? Janice
|
|
|
What a pretty little bowl, try Portuguese pottery for search. I'm lost on this one, it doesn't look like transfer, so you couldn't really search blue transfer ware. Good luck, Chris
|
|
Shoot~ Bob in KY Yes its Imperial Candlewick~ 400/103D Tall Cake Stand BV $95 The sell very well here for $50+
Fran;o)
|
|
|
how about a picture Janice
|
|
Thanks for all the good thoughts. I just went food shopping to take mind off it and now it's put away, hubby settled in with a shoot 'em up movie and I'm wanting not to be idle. Got a cute little longaberger vase and a portuguese bowl at a thrift shop while Rick was in surgery. (another bit of busy work!) For the life of me I can think of a word to describe this bowl except 'nice bowl with hearts cut out' which sounds vicious. Anyone have a one-liner for me? I won't find the exact thing listed. (especially since I don't know how to describe it!) Apparently my language skills are taking a rest. 7 1/2" wide, 4 1/2" deep. Fruit bowl? Thanks, Janice

Good Morning Glassies... There is a strange bright round figure in the sky today, it has been so long since I last saw it that I do not remember what it is called... LOL... Suppost to hit 63 today, but we will see... I have a few errands to run this afternoon then I'll be going through the curios and pulling some items out of the collection to list... I just have way too much stuff, and if I can get rid of it during the holiday season then so be it. Also, if I make some room in the cabinets I can always buy more later... LOL...
baabaamason / Bob... Looks like the real deal to me, but wait till dbfrogs / Fran confirms...
sunwoman3663 / Janice... ((((Hugs)))) and positive thoughts are headed your way... Please keep us updated...
Kasi... I hate moving more than I hate Dentist, and I absolutely despise going to the dentist... so i feel your pain... ((((Hugs))))
Well need to get on the ball and get out of here and do these errands so I can make some progress this afternoon. BBL, Jesse
|
|
Shoot, just re read my post. I am fine now, ignort the not, LOL I agree with Chris, once you know what you are dealing with, there are lots of support groups and it is a big help to speak to people going through the same thing. Let us know what you find out, the waiting to know is the hardest part. Lainey
|
|
Janice, wow, I know right your at right now. As you go thru this, please know that the success of treatment now for breast cancer is very high. You will meet many long term survivors of BC and some new members of the survivors group like me, just in this chat. I got a great deal of comfort from meeting them, hearing their stories.You need to draw on that power, if in fact it is BC. Chris
|
|
|
Janice, I think I am one of the Lovely ladies Gail referred to, LOL. The biopsy is more scary than painful. That is exactly how I was diagnosed an year ago July and am not fine. Keep good and positive thoughts and we will all keep good thoughts that it is nothing. Lainey, who is now a 1 1/2 year survivor
|
|
Good morning, glassies. Just finished vacuuming, dusting, polishing, and mirror/window cleaning. House looks fairly tidy for now.
Janice ... keep in mind that we have at least 2 lovely ladies here on the Chat that I know of who now have their BC treatments behind them and are doing so very well. Take heart. Will certainly keep you in my prayers.
Going to try to get some Christmas lights strung outdoors. I won't light them up yet, but I think I'd like to take care of it while I have a lot of sunshine the next couple of days and some reasonable temps. We did get our first freeze last night, but it should still hit 60 today.
Just me, Gail

Janice Prayers that this is a false positive on the mammogram. george
|
|
Hello, Glassies! I haven't been posting much - lots of negativity going on and yesterday was told after mammogram & ultrasound that I need a biopsy. Tuesday a.m. which is quite fast so I'm terrified. Usually it's a couple of weeks before they can accomodate. So husband is on dilaudid as he recuperates from shoulder surgery; my daughter's family is in crisis and I might have BC. What else? Maybe I'll get busy listing to move my mind away from it all. Usually I would share this with oldest daughter but she would flip out. Doesn't need the added worry. Youngest daughter is trying to handle older sister's issues with her and now knows about this so is a bit burdened. So here I am dumping on you kind people, knowing the power of positive thinkers. And now it's time for tea. Janice

A earthquake in Maine!!!! What's the world coming to!!! And I'm in the middle of the country

Good Morning Glassies....hope everyone has a GREAT day!!
Added another cakestand to my collection. DFROGS (Fran) is it the real thing? here's another view . Thanks.....Bob in KY

Morning all y'all Well yesterday and also today are a bust for what I need to do. Trey(DS) called yesterday, with a help. He's moving and has to be out by tomorrow, and just didn't know where to sstart even though he has been packing boxes for weeks. So Mom to the rescue.It took me less than 2 hours to get it organized, and then it was just a matter of going to the local corner employment office to pick up some temp labor to put stuff in trucks and trailor. So this morning I have to pick up the temp labor at 9 am and get it done again today. But will have him moved by late tonight. Boy what a pain in the A** Hopefully tomorrow I can go back to my ebay listing and taking pics. And now totally not related to glass.
XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING VERY COOL If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services. How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we know to send one! It is FREE and it only takes a second. Well 10 seconds, and I figured y'all should know of this site, especially during the holiday season, so forgive the non glass post.
Fran, your book looks amazing, would you please figure out postage to 77079 and send me an invoice for your book?And love your exercising froggie this morning.
I'll be back later, maybe, depending on how the move goes. Big breakfast this morning cause of all the manuel labor I have to do today. Eggs,over easy, bacon and TExas Toast. Have a great day now, ya hear.

Fran, I have Adobe Acrobat Pro and I can download and edit your look-a-likes PDF to remove the email links etc. If you would like me to do that just let me know and I will email you the edited PDF. It will take me less than 2 minutes, so no big deal here. --- Mike

Mahnin'All: We were awakened at 2AM by a tremendous jolt that sounded like an explosion. At first, I thought perhaps a large tree had come down nearby. Got up & put the outside lights on, but couldn't see anything. At 2:05, there was a second, smaller jolt. Then I knew. We had an earthquake. Sure enough, checked with USGS online & there was a 2.5 quake here at exactly 2AM. Guess where the epicenter was? Listed as 14 miles WNW of Rumford, Maine. That puts it almost EXACTLY, directly under my house! No wonder for a 2.5 magnitude that it felt so strong. Waiting now for daylight to go outside & check around the house foundation for any damage. Doubt there will be any, but I'll check anyway.
That Kodak 3250 printer is amazing. In working on Casandra's portfolio album, I printed out, in fabulous quality, the following: 16-8x10's, 22-5x7's and 42-4x6 prints.......all on ONE cartridge!! Just put in a new cartridge yesterday. Cost $14.47. While I was at the store, I checked the price of the cartridge for my old Lexmark.....$38.87 now! And I couldn't have even printed out the 16-8x10's on that without running out of ink.
If you're looking to buy a new printer/scanner/copier combo, I would heartily endorse the Kodak 3250. For $99., it's a fabulous value.

  Good Morning Glassies....;o)
|
|
Thanks Kelli~ I made the page myself on the old AOL Hometown~ I just copied it and put it into my Frontpage... I have a friend hosting it for me, but I know She is very busy~~~ I did email Dave~;o) I just might have to start from scratch~.. I did notice it was a free listing and that made me want to do it~* Thanks so much for always being there for me** Fran
|
|
Fran, if there's any javascript or unacceptable coding in the webpage eBay will kick it out. You'll have to build the listing without linking to the webpage, I think. But check with Dave, if he put the page together - he'll know how to circumvent that stuff.
Night glassies!

I sell and gather many shot glasses. Most are 2 1/4" tall. hope that helps-feel too small for juice. At least for me would be too samll-as I drink 8 oz. daily each a.m.
