Other than that, I enjoy the light that comes through our stained glass panels in the hall, front door and fanlight windows. Oh - and marbles.Lucillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414527658216916537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-9792028299407844292010-05-08T21:00:13.839-04:002010-05-08T21:00:13.839-04:00Reggie, Great finds.

Yeoward once produced. I believe that Boy may have purchased the last four of them that were available from Mr. Yeoward himself, who brought them out from the store room in his shop on King's Road when Boy asked after them, since we were not able to find any more of them in New York.Reggie Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04044215790585354363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-27573789292547474432010-05-04T08:50:21.810-04:002010-05-04T08:50:21.810-04:00Boy- I too adore that wonderful teal green glass a...Boy- I too adore that wonderful teal green glass and have been collecting it for years. I have two sets (don't ask why- I don't know)of antique wine glasses- glorious to look at but so tiny as to border on the impractical, 2 sets of antique decanters as well as a large bell jar lantern in my front hall (in which I use a candle as well). I still rue a pair of magnificently scaled hurricane shades that Mario Buata purchased from a dealer at the Winter Antique Show in New York three minutes before I arrived. I also love purple glass. William Yeoward who makes the prettiest glass today to my mind, used to make wonderful stemmed purple water goblets. Despite the strong color, it's strangely neutral in that it goes with everything. Sadly, like all good things, that particular item seems to have been discontinued.magnushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09181183756484194127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044541580633294348.post-27326857537704295202010-05-04T07:51:59.754-04:002010-05-04T07:51:59.754-04:00Anon 6:44: Agree with you on this.
