I am a cobalt glass addict I have over 3000 yes 3000 pieces none of which are plates I own over 70 antique or vintage cobalt vases and at least 20 ashtrays all different I started collecting cobalt glass over 40 years ago when it was as cheap as dirt So I get ya babe
rustic i love collectables too and sell here and there online i hope to one day open my own shop ... i would love to keep a ton of the items i find but also cannot ,,, my husband says look at it this way they are mine until they sell lol ..
Hi Vicki! Thank you so much for your information! This is my "McKee Sunburst" Berry Creamer & Open Berry Sugar. My husband and I actually run an Etsy shop for vintage items are always coming by these treasures. If I could keep every piece I find, he would be in trouble! But alas...space is a premium. I do love playing with these pieces and learning as much as I can while they are visiting! Such eye candy!
Right now I am interested in starting a collection of emerald green and ruby red glass for my Christmas table. A piece at a time! I'm sure those sites offered here will help tremendously. Thank you again! :)
Hi Rustic - Your very welcome! On your question ie.. "berry" items.
What you likely have is EAPG glassware. (Early American Pattern Glass) - ( ca. 1850's to 1920 roughly). This was early American pressed glass, that came in hundreds of cool and interesting patterns and all different sorts of "sets". One of those "table ware sets" would be the "Berry set" This usually included a large serving bowl, several small bowls for individual servings and sugar and creamer to match. Hense,, your "Berry cream and sugar"! And yes, some of these were in fact "shakers" which were used for powdered sugar to shake onto the berries along with the cream!
I'd love to see a pic of your set! There is at least one link above for EAPG glasware, it happens to be a favorite of mine!
If your interested, once you ID which pattern you have, you could hunt for the rest of the set to match! Just one of many reasons I love that type of glass!
Thank you, Vicki! I will definitely check out those links! :)
I have another question that I cant seem to find the answer to. What exactly is a berry creamer and a berry sugar? I've read that some of the berry sugars were shakers, but a McKee set that I have is identified as a "Berry Creamer & Sugar." I'm assuming it's because they are wider than the typical creamer and sugar and could potentially accommodate berries?
Thank you again for the welcome, and for the advise! :)
Thank you, Vicki for so much useful and interesting info. Not surprised you mentioned Ohio. My grandmother was from Cleveland. It could have belonged to my great-grandmother for all I know. My grandmother was born in 1899 for what it's worth. I'm excited to do more research now thanks to you and your expertise.
