This Imperial rooster is one of my favorites in my Imperial collection. This is a harder to find color and this picture was taken without flash. It really reflects light beautifully.
That is my test watermark in lower left corner btw.
Due to an unexpected emergency, today's planned Atterbury informational post will take place next Tuesday! Apologies and hope to see you then.
This is a closed neck Challinor Taylor Swan. This lid is a bit harder to find. Westmoreland glass made a similar top and will be marked with the WM inside the top. This swan should be sitting on what is known as the "Christmas Tree Base". Those are very hard to come across. This one is sitting on a smooth rim Challinor base. While I don't collect swans, I was immediately drawn to this one.
Beginning this Tuesday 5/19, we will be covering a different glass maker every other Tuesday. The post will include basic info about age of pieces, how to identify, reference guides if possible and other helpful tidbits! Feel free to drop your questions and share your knowledge as well! This Tuesday will feature Atterbury hens! If you're not sure what your hen is, stop by and drop a pic in the comments! Look forward to hearing from the community! 🐓🐔
I love collecting Kanawha hens & roosters. The four point comb really sets it apart from other glass makers roosters.
I managed to score this hen for $20 at a flea market about 10 years ago. This hen started my love for Kanawha glass!
This beautiful Kanawha is extremely hard to find. Black was not a part of the regular Kanawha line. This is the only one I've ever seen and while I probably paid way too much, it was worth it!
