Featured Iridescent Parfaits: Origins or/and Maker?

    Still working on the "ancestry" (origins, makers, line, etc.) of our stuff and such. The "ancestry" of this litter of iridescent parfaits still escapes me! They were a wedding gift (1966). BTW, we are having our 50th on Saturday!
    Description:
    6½" tall, 2½" diameter. The bowl, stem and foot are all iridescent. The stem is short with a ball in middle. Foot: round. Thin delicate glass. There were originally 8, but, bad me, dropped (killed) one several years ago. :oops:

    Would appreciate any info or hints on possible makers or at least country of origin? I have search replacements.com several of times with no luck.

    TIA.

    West Virginia Specialty may be a place to start.

    Thank you Mary! Since seeing your message, I have done a cursory WVS search. Have found a couple of their ball stems are very similar and a few of their iridescent patterns. So far haven't found an iridescent with this ball stem. Am still looking.

    Again thank you, for suggesting WVS.

    Thank you, Sue! We made it, but believe me a few times it wasn't a "walk in the park!" We are in the midst of planning a Baltic Sea cruise doing the Scandinavian countries, St. Petersburg, etc... next year in celebration. We both have done a bit of the Med and the other countries of western Europe. There were too many health problems last year to think about planning the cruise for this year. Neither one of us can do much walking for my back problems and his oxygen.

    1966 does not seem like it was that long ago. Congrats!

    Thanks all, for the felicitations!

    What hot weather we are having, and it isn't even summer yet! As of 4pm CDT, Memphis broke it's high temp record for this date. It is 99 degrees F, 76 DP, 46 humidity with a heat index of 110!!! It is estimated in the next hour or so the heat index will reach 113. This is late July and August temps - the dog days of summer. I'm surprised the humidity is only 46! It is not unusual for it to be in the 70s in the summer. Certainly can't do anything outdoors. These temps have been hounding us for the pass week or so. We have been wishing for rain/storms to break these temps, then look around to all the tornado stuff and such in WV, PA, & VA. This heat surely beats tornadoes soooo will be more restrained in what I wish.

    Congratulations on your 50th! My parents just celebrated their 61st anniversary so that should give you something to shoot for! Here in Indiana it has been hot as well. At least we had some rain yesterday and early today. Still I need cooler weather as the weeds are growing quickly. I can't take the heat myself anymore.
