Glass Reference books at auction are a lot less expensive now because a lot of people would rather look on the internet. You sound a lot like me...
Yes, it does look like Northwood's Aurora. Thank you for setting me straight. Hopefully, I would have found that out for myself as I continued...
Sshh . . . it's a secret, but I'll tell you anyway. LOL! According to a bunch of sellers, it was made by Hobbs Brockunier and the etch/pattern...
George, thanks so much! With your help I was able to locate the maker and pattern of the etch as well as a closed listing. So I'm good to go.
George, I found an example just like mine on ebay, except the ruby part was more consistently straight and there was no etch. It was listed as...
That's the word I was thinking, but I thought Rubina glass items had more colors in them (for instance, amber or blue or green). Thanks for the info.
Very nice! I absolutely love early Haviland, and these pieces are so nice. I've never seen this decoration before and it's exceptional. If...
This is the other piece I can't identify out of my cranberry glass lot. At first I thought the color was painted on but it's not, it's ruby...

I've had antique pieces of cut glass with hollow stoppers in tableware. With table items, like a horseradish jar, for instance, the hollow...
Yes, holding them would be difficult. But I was thinking they look like breakage ready to happen. But they are too cool and fun!
Thank you all so much! It's awesome and I'm so happy to have found out about it.
Looks like Sea Green to me. IMHO, with these water bottles, people collect them strictly for the color and rarely care when they were made since...
Thank You!!! I tried the cold water thing because I saw it on the internet as a way to break apart 2 glass tumblers. Didn't think it would work....
[ATTACH] They are sitting in Dawn water right now. I have also tried squirting WD-40 down in them but I can't get them to budge or even move...
The man in your photo looks so familiar. One of the Reggae performers. I'll keep thinking about it. On pins and needles that you hear back from...
