Time for Glass - Once Again. Elephants on Parade

I've been unable to do much with my glass this summer due to a family emergency that required me to be out of state for two months. Now that things are settling down I can get back into my glass which is a lot of fun.

This is one of my favorite things, a small decorated tumbler. It is in the same style as the Swanky Swigs, same size and shape, but I've not seen this particular design in the swig listings in my reference books. This little glass almost certainly originally held cheese or whatever and is cute as can be with the red elephants on parade.

Recently I bought several boxes of glass from one of my favorite eBay sellers and am looking forward to getting home and looking through it. Selling glass gives me a chance to hold and touch and enjoy glass without having to find a place to show it and then I can turn around, make someone else happy by having this available, and oh, yes, make a small profit on the way.

Hi Kathy,

Thanks so much for commenting on my amber depression glass on Tuesday. I have other pieces of depression glass that I found on ebay, some of which I know the name of, but these amber plates were from a thrift store, and no one knew the maker...I just knew they were vintage, and pretty, so had to have them. I'll look through your blog, and see if there's any other pieces I have with no name...I have several friends that collect depression glass as well, so will pass this on to them, too!

Take care...God bless!
Mary
