Featured “Norwegian” Glass

More of clearing out Mom’s house. The story is these glasses were were given to her from her Norwegian grandmother…likely in the late 50’s or 60’s. There are 4 different forms, they’ve definitely seen some use! Any info would be great as always, Thank You!

 

Holy WOW you’re good!!

And another family story debunked…as anticipated lol!!

Thank You!!

 

Glastonbury/Lotus crystal minton pattern:

 

They turn up here, too, I've had some.

 

Replacements lists the Glastonbury Lotus as first on the list, but also lists a whole lot of other possibilities. Pictures of the rims on Replacements aren't real clear.

 

I have 3 of them. Put them up for sale locally South West Ontario and got no interest, and I was not asking for much money!

 

yup, Tiffin Franciscan

 

The "optics" are done by lowering the initial glass bubble into a wire frame with a number of wires equally spaced around it. Then withdrawing it and expanding the bubble into the final mold for it's shape. The same number of wires in the optic mold will produce the same effect in any factory they are used in. Optics can't be used (generally) to identify an manufacturer.

 

In my experience, things always sell better and quicker when you have definitive Name/Date info about them
