Cherry Blossom Fan

Blossoms are a lovely pale peach glass, centers a very pale amber, stems a dark amber, leaves an olive green. The background is part of my favorite series of Spectrum glass: aqua lime from the pearl opal series.

Very pretty. I bet your aunt loved it.

I looked up the spectrum glass. Wow is my response. Another great piece!

Thank you! Spectrum is by far my favorite of the "machine-made" glasses. The surface is always smooth and slick, with a glossy finish. It makes for super easy cutting. Kokomo (located in IN) glasses have been around for a long time, some of the recipes they made for Tiffany are still made. Wissmach (they're in WV, and I've been to their factory) is also easy to cut and they have great glass. Youghiogheny glass makes great handmade glass, which is not as consistent as machine-made. They're in SW PA and I've been to their factory too. But the very best of the handmade glass is Uroboros. Their glass is beautiful, but very pricy! They're located in WA or OR, too far for me to visit.
