Vintage Thingies Thursday

After a 3 week absence I am back to join in the VTT. You can follow the other participant's offerings by checking out coloradolady's blog.

While visiting with my college friend in Brisbane I couldn't help but notice that she has these beautiful ruby [or are they rose] glass pieces. They belonged to MA's great aunt & I am not at all sure of their age, probably early 1900's. The aunt has long since gone to her reward so we would only be guessing when they were made. With all the knowledgeable VVT 'ers I am fairly sure one of you knows the vintage of this lovely glass!


I think they are really beautiful & I was so enthralled with them that it wasn't until later I noticed I had failed to remove the little koala clinging to the stem of the tallest piece before photographing! He is definitely not vintage.


My friend thought they showed best here in the sun but I think their true color is better seen against the light background so I took both photos. As fragile as they are they are in very good condition.
I now have ruby glass envy!
