Happy 25th Anniversary - Silver Decorated Glass - Silver City's Springtime

Wouldn't this make an outstanding gift for your 25th wedding anniversary? It is a torte plate that would be perfect to hold cake or sandwiches or canapes at a party.

The glass itself is Caprice by Cambridge, easily told by the looped optic design and scalloped shape. The silver design, with its lavish blossoms and leaf sprays, is by Silver City. It is called Springtime, just a perfect name.

The banner reads 25th Anniversary. Silver City was one of several companies that decorated glass with silver and sometimes gold. Silver City, like Lotus Glass and others, purchased glass blanks from other companies and decorated for the gift ware market. This is a perfect example!

Romance of Vintage Stemware - Cambridge Caprice

Vintage stemware adds a touch of class and romance to your home. Imagine a gift of delicate etched goblets from the depression, given with the best wishes for a marriage or life as long and gracious.

This stem is Cambridge Caprice, which is one of the last patterns released by this venerable elegant glass company. Most pieces of Caprice were pressed with graceful arched wide ribs but some of the stemware was light and airy with blown stems. This piece is one of those blown goblets.

Caprice stemware has fancy stems with the two rounded wafers and ribbed center section. You can see several colors, as if it were iridescent, in the bowl; that is due to the optic.

We're going to highlight many of our favorite stemware shapes and designs over the next few weeks, so look for more posts about stemware.
