    i'm very glad you figured out the true pattern of the tiffin versus harding. you are so right about the image searches also if one person lists something wrong and someone does list similar or takes the name as truth and then lists theres as that and so on and so forth all of a sudden theres a bunch of ppl misinformed and possibly spreading the misleading information. vicious cycle lol. happens a lot with glass patterns especially since the moulds were passed around company to company a lot of times and if the pattern was changed at all the differences are hard to discern unless you know exactly what you are looking for

    My Gran had the peach lustre set with laurel leaves, which she used often…but her pride and joy was a complete set of Bubble, in the pale blue. My Granther bought her the Bubble on their fifth anniversary, when it was brand new. It came out only for very special occasions, and lived in a glass front display case the rest of the time.
    She also had a large collection of teacups, each unique and very pretty. We bought her a new one every Mother’s Day. Very occasionally she would bring some out for tea with visitors, but they weren’t for casual use.
    The kitchen cupboard was filled with mismatched pieces of fine China that had once been part of expensive dinnerware sets. We used those for everyday…and I always wanted this kind of squared off plate with a flowing edge.
    She had a lot of depression glass for daily use, and my own love of glass came from living with all of hers. I still have her Jennet uranium glass lemonade pitcher in Cherry Orchard pattern…and I still use it.🖤🇨🇦

    I remember twisting that metal on the side of the maxwell house coffee can! With the key that came on the bottom. As a kid, It would hiss with the freshness packed in when released and the smell of fresh coffee was delicious!! Even tho I never had coffee as a kid! I love it today!

    Awe! My Grandmother's name was Mildred. Born in 1911. You don't hear that name anymore. My grandfather just called her "Mid". Gosh I miss those 2 beautiful people! That generation lived 2 world wars, Korea, and Vietnam. They had a strength of character, courage and faith that you just don't see anymore.

    The “Mildred” gravy boat was made by Mount Clemens Pottery that was located in the suburbs of detroit. That’s so cool to know there are pieces out there from the now defunct factory. I’m from the area and loved going there with my aunt as a kid. ❤ Great finds.

Beer cans came with that same cone shaped top too. People will surprise themselves with how much they remember from books. Wow, wow, wow, on the bookcase. Now, on to the first editions curated section. Bookends and leather bounds. Thanks for allowing me to ecstatically ramble. Only the first month, 11 more months of stellar detached retina finds!

A little Stain, Varnish and some TLC and it would look great at yours. To have the Shelving with it is ideal. Absolute bargain. To just come across such an item just makes your Day.

    Hi Scott. The yellow teapot looks English to me.
