Cambridge Rose Glassware

 I have a number of pieces of Cambridge Rose glassware that also belonged to Granny. This stuff is so delicate, I'm practically afraid to touch it.

I like the shadows that they cast. This is one goblet and one sherbet glass. Again. with the cutwork tablecloth, which really fits the time period.

I tried to enhance the contrast so you could see the pattern better.

There are 7 goblets, but 2 have small chips, and 8 sherbet glasses, 1 of which has a small chip. The perfect ones are worth at least $30 each. I'm working on packing boxes that can eventually go to Replacements, Ltd. They also take silverware. I have 2 complete sets of family silver!

In other news: I had a Zoom meeting, did some volunteer stuff, went shopping and did errands (including getting one box of the not-important stuff to a resale shop).

I'm thinking that we might do Thanksgiving dinner with a table set with Granny's stuff just once for the heck of it. But I'd have to trust all of us to touch these things. Poor Granny- she really wanted me to be much more highbrow instead of the inveterate tomboy who just really doesn't care about this stuff.
