Small Somethings to Know

| Anchor Hocking Wexford Pattern Glass |
This is information that might be handy as a conversation starter. Not everything in life has a crucial significance to living one's life.
Textured glasses are easier to grip. Thick glass stemware are easier to hold as well. I prefer those styles.
My favorite water glass is horizontal ribbed barrel shape called Park Avenue by Anchor Hocking. I bought them at a thrift store. Alas, a discontinued pattern, I have only one left. Time to find another pattern.
Do you have a favorite water glass pattern?
This reminds me of the same glasses that Jess received from Brian's grandmother. Your glass looks sturdy and very nice. I will have to ask her if it's the same pattern. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave a splendid week.

We were visiting each other on our blogs around the same time this morning. I notice things like that haha. ; )
ReplyDeleteLol!
ReplyDeleteSometimes after replying and reading emails, I check again, and find a blogger left a comment.
Sheri,
ReplyDeleteThey are a popular glass. I was lucky to find a pair at the thrift shop. I'll be shopping for the water goblets this summer.
I like the Wexford Pattern Glass. Bet drinking out of this type of glass makes the beverage taste extra special. Hope you had a great weekend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought about a glass pattern but I do like a heaver glass. I also purchase most of my glasses at the thrift store. We have high ball glasses that are heavy crystal that I purchased at a thrift store. I love the weight of them.

Debbie,
ReplyDeleteWater first thing in the morning before coffee, the small glasses are perfect.
Hugs for a great week
Cathy,
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, heavier glasses are better
And, they don't get knocked over as easy as lighter glasses.
My favorite water glasses are my IKEA ones -- they're practically indestructable. Maybe if dropped on a tile floor, but not on linoleum! I do love beautiful crystal, though It just sparkles and I feel special when I use it.
ReplyDeleteI have the last of some of my mother’s dishes. The end of an era for sure. Well used and appreciated!
ReplyDeleteNeat textures.
ReplyDeleteHmmm - I must say that I haven't given the glasses we use any thought. When we get low we head for the thrift store and find ones that feel good in our hands and that have a heavy base that helps them not to tip over easily. Beyond that I don't care what they look like. Perhaps I should pay more attention!
ReplyDeleteJranie,
ReplyDeleteIkea has a nice selection of glasses at good prices.
There's no Ikea store in Vermont. Massachsetts has a store though. :)
Marie,
ReplyDeleteHeirloom dishes brings love to the table.
William,
ReplyDeleteClose up photos can reveal surprising textures.
Maryanne,
ReplyDeleteSelecting glasses and dishes according to mood is fun.
For a fruit fill summer drink, water or other, I use a barrel shape wine glass.
Lovely glassware ~ didn't know Anchor Hoking did that class ware ~ Xo

This is very pretty. I think I will start looking for these. Mine are very boring...:(
ReplyDeleteCarol,
ReplyDeleteAnchor Hocking has several nice glass patterns,
Debra,
ReplyDeleteThere are some of the glasses being offered online, but at higher prices than the thrift store.
I search for...water...goblet...shopping...new, to bring up interesting glasses at good prices.
Yes, textured glasses are easier to grip! The AH Wexford is nice and I can see why you like it.
ReplyDeleteWe have many, no favorite. There's a small Moroccan type red glass on the kitchen counter now that I've been using for water lately. I have a whole collection of them... red, blue, and purple! I've been gifted some nice glassware but some of it is thin and not easy to grasp so don't really use it. A few years ago, while washing a thinner type glass, I used too much force and it broke... a big piece of it cut me very badly... so now I probably prefer thicker ones.

ReplyDeleteOuch. Thin glasses do easily break. Your colorful glasses are happy to imagine.
The one thin glass I used broke when I barely put the sponge in to wash it. I used a butterfly stitch and waterproof bandages, frequent changes, to keep it moist while the worse cut knit closed. Dried, it hurt when skin edge rolls up.
