Judy in Texas03-01-201510:21 AM ET (US)IP: 68.94.12.214 I'll go first with the photo of the "CANE" pattern square salt I thought

was Currier and Ives awhile back. I've found other Cane patterned salts in my collection and because they have sterling rims or pedestals with English marks I assume they are from the UK. This one may be an import also.

I could not believe how difficult it was for me to find and open salt that was square, Lots of rectangles, but not many squares in the sets I collect. #D1464, 62 shillings. I am too lazy to find the catalog page, it was just for a jobber not a maker anyway.

Three square Hartford salts? As PJ indicated in her posting #52, the left one is supposed to be the master, it is 2 1/8 inches square and 2 3/4 inches tall. It is pictured in Coddington 25-2-3. The middle one is 2 1/2 inches square and 2 1/4 inches tall, about the right size to be a master salt. The top is not scalloped like the other two, so may have had a top. Is it the mustard? I have seen pictures of the middle salt



with the sides pushed out into a round shape as if to make a sauce, however this one does not seem large enough to be a sauce.

Debi Raitz03-02-201509:40 AM ET (US)IP: 69.14.123.141 Kent: I always thought the flat topped one might be the sugar without

the lid. It's hard to tell with no measurements given in books but it appears that pieces without lids all have scalloped tops and pieces with lids have flat tops.

Nancy ... Salt 67 is BANNER by Higbee. I've also heard it called Square Lacy Daisy, and I'd say it is another CANE patterned salt.

Nancy Dietel

03-02-201502:44 PM ET (US)IP: 74.105.144.96

Thanks, Judy, I just found that salt in the back of a drawer. It has a low inventory # so I must have purchased it at the beginning of my hobby.

75


When would that be, Nancy D, if I'm not getting too personal about age? I collected for years before I found there were clubs and salt web sites. Hawaii had me a bit isolated I guess. My first convention was 2001, my first chance to meet other collectors face to face.

76 Nancy V, I am a charter member of OSCAR, I was at the first convention in 1988 at Williamsburg. Not sure of the exact date of the



Nancy Dietel

03-02-201504:26 PM ET (US)IP: 74.105.144.96

Charter, but it was a few years before. Jane may know the date. So I've been around a long time.

77


I've been around a long time too, Nancy D, just not at the salt events. LOL Thanks for replying. I could have researched I suppose, but I didn't even know when the first national convention was.

Nancy Dietel

03-02-201505:46 PM ET (US)IP: 74.105.144.96

I didn't remember the date, either. Had to look up the Convention salt dates. First one was theBlue and white, Jack in Pulpit by Terry Crider. Fortunately they are all dated!

Linda H, REALLY, great idea. What do you want? Name it. LOLOLOLOLOLOL. I am so looking forward to convention. I can not wait to meet all of you. I am amazed that there have been conventions since 1988. I look back and wish....but life is what it is and I need to be happy to be in this now. I am very lucky to have collected what I have and so blessed to have made such wonderful friends. SO, LUCKY DUCK IS ME.

81


Supposedly on the Hartford, the ones you have with the lobed top are salts and the straight topped one is a toothpick. The spoon would be the same height as the cream, and the sugar slightly smaller than the cream.

84


Very nice start - I knew there would be a lot of square ones out there --

85


In the Weatherman Fostoria book there is only two pages showing the 501 HARTFORD pattern. I posted one of them in /m56 and this is the other. Neither shows the master salt, the toothpick or any sauce dishes for comparison.In looking again at Kent's flat top master and the sugar without a lid the top plain band on the sugar is wider so I do not think Kent's salt is a sugar minus the lid.Question for any EAPG people...What is the best book that lists all the different pieces in the patterns? I have several but don't know what the best source is. Maybe I should say the most reliable and accurate information.Edited 03-02-2015 11:59 PM

86

Debi Raitz03-02-201511:56 PM ET (US)

Mary: Maybe one of these months we should just let you post all your Fritz salts. You have an amazing array of them. This one with a square top reminds me of a circus tent. They are all so colorful. I absolutely LOVE the two special Fritz salts I have.



IP: 69.14.123.141

87


Debi, I should have checked your References for Fostoria Open Salts. Under the Hartford pattern there is a picture of my salt with the flat edge and the same dimensions as mine. Also, under the Coddington section, the entry for 25-2-3 has been changed from "Pattern Glass HARTFORD pattern, square bowl and foot" as it is in my printed copy, to "Pattern Glass HARTFORD pattern toothpick, master salt is wider". Also, on February 1, 2015, Ed Bowman sold a toothpick on EBAY that matches the dimensions of the Coddington 25-2-3. He doesn't mention anything about it being a salt. Is Ed Bowman the expert we are looking for?

88


There is also a Hartford creamer and uncovered sugar currently listed on EBAY. According to the listing: "The creamer is 4 5/8" to the top of the handle and about 3 5/8" square in the middle of the piece. The sugar dish is 4 " inches in height and about 3 1/2" square in the middle of the piece." These measurements are more consistent with what I would expect of a creamer and sugar from this period and over an inch larger each way than my salt. Apparently, there was a top to the salt, or it may have been a mustard which usually had a top. Not made very long, so probably not very many made.

89


Kent: Some of that information came from either Ed Berg or Rod Elser when I put that page together years ago. There isn't any backup proof for some of it. I just went with what they told me on some of it so some might be wrong. I don't know that I ever had any proof of a HARTFORD master salt or what it looked like. Obviously there are a couple pieces in the HARTFORD line that could pass for a master salt and one of them probably is, but which one? I have tried to update some information over the years, like adding some more colors and the reproductions. I don't think anyone has ever been able to supply any of the missing images.I asked earlier about any EAPG books that had reliable pattern pieces information. I got out the two biggest ones I have and HARTFORD isn't in either one. Either are some other Fostoria patterns so I guess they aren't very reliable at all or maybe they only list patterns that have full lines of dinnerware, not just tableware. I read somewhere that tableware consists of serving pieces, condiments, etc. and dinnerware includes plates, cups, saucers, etc. It sure would be nice if there was a comprehensive book on pattern glass pieces. If anyone knows of one let me know.I'm going to look at my toothpick books and see if I can find HARTFORD anywhere.I saw the creamer and sugar on eBay looking for pieces earlier. Either there was an open and a covered version of the sugar, or the one on eBay is the spooner according to the catalog pictures I have.

90

Debi Raitz03-03-2015

The HARTFORD toothpick shown in "Glass Toothpick Holders" by Bredehoft and Sanford gives the size as 2-5/8" high by 2-1/4" wide. It has a rather wide plain top band with a scalloped rim.

94


PJ, thanks for posting your pictures. I don't think this is a case of either or but rather both could be master salts. For example look at the first Hartford catalog page message #56. Which one is THE Hartford covered sugar? The one on the right side of the page or the one on the middle bottom?

95


That is pretty! Is it a master size?

96




The salt is 1" square at the base and 2" square at the top... Pretty, pretty... = the previous salt !!! Not this salt...Here's another... #273-3-2 in Smiths... It's pretty too ???Edited 03-03-2015 01:52 PM

Two more Champleve' pieces - They may be a bit of a stretch - but if the four corners had not been bent down to form the feet - They certainly are square --

108


It looks like the sugar without the pedestal base is #501-1/2, not #501. Not sure if that indicates it's supposed to be a different pattern number or not. Seems like just an alternative piece to the pattern. It is odd it would have two different sugars and one does not match the creamer. Maybe there are other pieces without the pedestal base too. There obviously must have been more pages to that catalog and Weatherman found it, but where is it now?

Not perfectly squared, but you can see the attempt. This piece is marked with a fake LCT, it has iridescent surface similar to Tiffany's Favrille, but it is not up to their standards. Looks similar to OSC931-1, probably made by Iorio of Remington, New Jersey.

I was just looking the the Bredehoft & Sanford Toothpick book, they show the Hartford TP as having the wavey top and being 2-5/8" tall x 2-1/4 " wide.

130

DoRi03-04-201512:35 PM ET (US)IP: 96.43.69.69

I'm not clear as to what's going on re HARTFORD. The ind salt has a scalloped rim and is 1-3/4SQ x 1-1/4H, the master has a smooth rim and is 2-1/2SQ x 2-1/4H. There are few books that show all the forms made but Weatherman's Fostoria does a pretty good job.

131


DoRi: Then what is the piece on the left in message #54? It looks more like the master salt and matches the individual more than the flat top one.Do you have any idea where the Fostoria catalog is that Weatherman used for her book? Some museum or library must have it.Edited 03-04-2015 01:36 PM

Hey P.J. - Your basket in #132 was sold both ways - as a double without shakers and also with the shakers - The original baskets with shakers were unique in that the shakers would only fit in one way - There was just enough difference in the sides and shape -- Used to have the set - Heck I used to have a lot of things --- Wish I could buy back my youth as easily as I can a salt I used to have -----

Mary, 136 is the same as in this holder. I always thought it did not show how pretty the glass was. The holder is by Walker & Hall. I wonder if the glass is English also.

Mary, I think it looks nicer out of the holder also. Like a lot of salts, wether it was meant to go together or not is debatable. I supposed the seller just put whatever fitted into whatever stand.

145


Janelle & Mary: #136 and #137 look different to me. Mary's looks like it has little toed feet.

Mine is currently in the garage staging arena - But I will check it tomorrow - It may just be the reflection from the cutting - I can't remember -- But you right from the picture it does look like paw feet -- Wow that would tickle me even more as you know I have this thing for footsie salts --

This may be a Salt-Want-To-Be. I found it on eBay and decided it would fit into my collection A-OK. It is made by Westmoreland Glass Co. (Has the "WG" mark on the bottom.), and is a good master salt size...2 5/8 inches square at the outside panels, 2 inches square at the rim and 2 1/8 inches high. I liked the true red color and I think I have seen the piece with a lid in some other life. Maybe a covered sugar or a trinket dish. If anyone knows exactly what it is and has a manufacture date, please post the info.

Judy, your lovely red square piece was made as a covered trinket box, often as a souvenir piece. I've seen it in antique malls with various inscriptions on the lid. Date would be about 1900-1920.Edited 03-05-2015 06:15 PM

before they closed around 1984-85. Now, whether or not the mark or color can date it, I don't know.

Thanks Debi and Nancy...I didn't think it was a salt. I'm going to keep it with the other masters for a time. I like the red color.

Jytte, Do you have a Heacocks and Johnsons? I have all 8 of those square salts but the one with rounded columns on the corners....I don't think that on is in H & J. Have to go look. You know having a salt room is great, but having it downstairs is inconvienient.

161


Jytte - in 153 lower corner right should be H&J no 2748 - Fostoria salt No. 112 circa 1900 -- Will catch some time on the others soon --

162


Should have added this to the last message - 152 lower right is H&J 3232 - Listed only as cut glass - The tab handled and the one below it are both forms of a cane pattern - I am not a pattern identifier - so only know what I find in the books -

Thanks Mary - the American Pattern I did identify when especially Judy and Jan showed their collections, but the one in #152 - is new for me. I really have problems identifying a lot of my clear glass salts - my never ending project ....Lynda - yes I have "5000 Open Salts" - a very used book! But unfortunately not the most clear picturesSalt: not identified

Mary, Mary, Mary(not Marsha!)I'm still amazed to see all the "goodies" you post! I still don't know how you part with the ones, that you do. Haven't got to the "letting go" stage yet, I just keep "cramming" them in the 16 cabinets(artfully crammed!)

190


16 cabinets, Hey Mary, we are stealing from the wrong guy. Gatta go to Don's house and steal a couple of his cabinets. Better yet, we hit Dons and then go to Kents. I have this big plan. Jan and I were talking. I told her I want to go to Australia and steal all of Janelle's art glass salts. She wants to hit Jyttes house, for everything. Lolololololol. My plan....we are going to be Snooper and Blooper. Together we will go to Mary's and take her salts. So Mary, if you hear giggling and snorting in the middle of the night ....don't worry, it is just us....fondling your salts. Oh, I'm the snorter.Edited 03-07-2015 12:31 PM

Sorry Lynda, busted. Unless I get a crack at Dons and Kents too.

As for Mary's, as she is SUCH a good friend I will just help umm, dust, polish, tidy, her salts. Of course some of them might have to be done at my place. Anything to help out.

Wish we could find someone that would like some of our more common salts that would "cart" them off... without us paying postage !!! I have a 5 1/2 foot case of them !! And then a box and a half on the porch of duplicates - Can't handle ebay anymore !!!

I have it in green, or I would be very envious! Debi has it in Vaseline, I THINK, but any color would be a PRIZE! Jytte, I LOVE your #200, and Nancy, I LOVE your #203!

Debi, I have always been under the impression that those salts were not Heisey too. Maybe we can get to the bottom of this at convention when the Heisey curator speaks to us.

228


I know all of us have duplicates of salts and other pieces we would like to find a new home. I use the Salvation Army and/or Goodwill for that. Over the years I've taken several donations of salts and assorted tableware to them. I figure the salts find a new home and the organizations make a little money. They will provide a receipt for tax deductions if you need one.

229


Sue: Is it Walter (something)? Because he was the one at Heisey who told me they were not Heisey. Seems to me when they were compared to a known Heisey clear one, the beveling on the corners was different. He also told me my blue FANDANGO pattern salt was not Heisey but unless someone had an identical mold I still think it was made at Heisey. Maybe it was just experimental or some whimsy but it is exactly the same mold except it was not fire polished. We know it's not a repro or else there would be more out there and no one I know of ever said they had one too.

230


Oohhhh, Nancy V, LOVE the pink Sq art glass and the Davidson. Jytte, Thank you for the invite and offer of beautiful architecture. Historical treasures. And we still want to steal 'All'--- your glass. Lololol, yup, we do.

231


The candy striped square art glass salt is shown in a fancier stand in the OSC, plate 136, which notes the "rare square rim."

232




I just noticed this square crackle glass salt, H&J 4215. I had a similar salt in a different basket, bought a pair at an open air antique fairsome years ago, sold them both as not my cup of tea. Is that a mixed meatphor--tea and salt?

233


I just checked the "Chat" today, so I'm a little behind. I compared my Green "Heisey" with my crystal one, and I can see NO NOTICABLE difference! Sometimes I think that if Walter(or any curator) don't know for SURE, they just say it ISN'T! A lot of Heisey and Greentown "UNSEEN" items still turn up, every year. They show this Salt in Vaseline, in the O.T.C. Who knows what workers "came up with" when the Boss wasn't looking!!

Sue Sawyer03-10-2015

Yes, Debi, it is Walter Ludwig. I know when I donated a salt to the museum he wouldn't accept it until he looked it up in several reference books. He has always been pretty thorough that way. Don may well



12:24 AM ET (US)IP: 70.193.242.151

be right about what they made "after hours." I know in the height of the Heisey glass popularity many pieces were carried out of the factory at the end of the day. I presume some were seconds, but maybe not all. It will be interesting to see what he has to say about your salt.

242


Sue: Maybe you missed what I said earlier. Walter already looked at my salts when I took them to our meeting and he said they were not Heisey. I will not be there to show him again anyway. Maybe Don can take his and see if Walter has changed his mind about them.

From the top of previous photo. I love how delicate these look and the lovely decor. I see the one on the left looks as though it has a crack. It doesn't, it's part of the painting. I have seen many of these with different painting but never any marks. Anyone know origin?

PJ, Lacies are not really my thing but even I could change for those ones. Jytte, where in the world are you finding these salts. I search and search for the unusual and usually come up zilch. If they are in your flea markets etc they sure leave the ones here for dead. Of course it

would help if I was in a city � and had a bit of variety.

286


Jan, That Davidson is really nice. Never seen one in that pattern before.

I have the same shape in Lapis as Jytte's malachite (#289). Old picture.

I'm wondering if the malachite and lapis might be Schlevogt (Hoffmann's son-in-law). They usually had paper labels so I guess there's no way to tell.

A couple of the Czech pieces are acid signed Ingrid Czeco Slovakia - many did just have the label. It is hard to photograph, but I will try tonight. Jane, are any of yours signed, or just labeled? Maybe the acid signature is more on the bottles? Thanks!

When everyone chips in the unique information they have, it helps us all to put it together and then we are all able to learn. I love this site and these pages! Pat on the back to all who contribute.

Jytte, I think I have seen the Portieux in beige. There is also one on Etsy right now with some pretty ugly paint (gold??) on it. Can't recall right now what color the salt itself is...

Mary, That is a beauty . Lovely to see the variety coming out. I would not have thought to see so many different salts.

Thank you J J ...got more.lolololol. These Cabinet salts are all different. I have more babies...in a box....somewhere.

Lynda - in a while one of #328 is leaving for Australia so... and I know the adoption-mother will be the best in the world for it. Think your #338 look a little more French than Scandinavian:-)Salt:English Art glass in holder

340


That is so pretty, Jytte! Love the subtle shading, and the holder is so different.

341




About as basic a square as you can get... aluminum I think...

342


Pretty... ?Almost bucket?

343


This LOOKS like its an ash tray... but there are NO indentations at the corners... it is smooth all around the corners... so... I claim it as a salt !!!

344


Jytte, The 339 pic is even prettier here. I love that salt. P.J. Who ever said a bucket has to be round. Lolololol That's a pretty pretty.

Hi Jane... Yes... I had to dig it out of the cabinet... The silver is on top of the glass...Hope that is what you were asking... ???While I was here... Thought I would "toss" in another square one...

349


Ohhhh P.J., be gentle, no tossing.

350 Yes, P. J. - that is what I meant! I like that type.

Not to worry Lynda... I do my best to take great care of my little babies !!! That's why I'm so concerned about what to do with them before I'm gone !!! No one to leave them with !!! :-{

Nancy - no marks, it's 35mm x 60mm and it has a polished puntil - on opensalt.dk item no 207982 there is 5 more pictures



356


Jytte, I have to laugh, when it comes to art glass, Janelle and I have the same taste and love, she is a good Momma. P.J. I am so sorry you are at a loss as what to do with your collection. I am automatically assuming the 5 grand babies will want to collect. So far the 2 sets of twin girls want and love the salts. Hunter is only 4, he thinks they are perfect for baseball. Talk about tossing. Lolololololol. I have to show you pictures of the small collection I have of condiment sets. I wish you were closer. Heck, I wish every one were closer.

357


Jytte, what is opensalt.dk? Is that your collection site, item no 207982?

358


Well nuts, can't post the condiment sets here. No squares. Even the table they are on is round. Lolol

359


The pretty blue salt came from Belgium... I'm sorry, it's on the deck in a box right now... don't have the strength to do the "rooting"... I'll try later... It looks as if it has "cigarette grooves"... it does NOT... It is on the deck only because I ran out of room... This new salt is also from Belgium... pretty too !!!

FIRST... WELCOME Nancy !!! SECOND... and most important... There are NO bad (hate this word - dumb) questions on this board !!! The only bad question is the question you fail to ask !!! We all have "gaps" in our memory !!! We all have times that we are just TOO TIRED to get out the reference books to look something up ourselves... so we put the question out to our friendly members here on the board !!!THIRD... eventually you will get to know the members and learn their "short hand" and how they post... you will get to know what is a master salt and what is a "lacy" salt (an early special salt) - you'll learn what is a art salt, what is a mold blown salt... and so on... be patient with yourself !!! The ladies and gentlemen here are VERY patient !!! Heaven knows they've put up with me for a very long time !!! FOURTH... I'm sure it's been suggested to you to look into reference books... It sounds like you've been in touch with Mary... A GREAT, GREAT mentor !!! So... you are off to a perfect start !!!Hang in there and keep reading... check the references on this board ... ASK QUESTIONS !!!Keep smiling !!!"The Salty Nut..." PJ

367


Hey There Nancy Carol - See you found part of the drooling experience -- In answer to your question about the Lacy salts - Yes they are called that because of the intricate design in most pieces - Though not all of them are elaborate - but more definitely called Lacy because of the time frame they were produced - About 1825 to 1850 which was considered the Lacy Period -- The4 only way we can slide them in on this month's topic is to post the picture of a double because to my knowledge there is not a square lacy to be found -- This one is from the Acorn book DI 20 and as you can see it is not quite as ornate as the pones posted by Jytte - but still a Lacy salt -

368




From Neal's book DI 3 showing a bit more pomp -- Do you have a copy of the 5000 Open Salts book - I have an extra and would be more than happy to share it with you - e-mail me direct if you want - [email protected] - I will then give you a list of all the clubs too --

387


P.J. my dear, around these parts we sometimes say a woman is butt-sprung after pregnancy....New Nancy--the history of glass making is very interesting. A Lacy anything is hand pressed, which was often an inexact work. The molds were made with tons of fancy design to hide the imperfections, so the glass had a lacy look to it. They are early, they are wonky, and many of us adore them!

388

Lynda LaLonde

P.J., Gosh I hope I didn't make you feel finger slapped. I was guessing what the mistery was and I was right ...pooked out at the

P.J., I am so sorry if I upset you at all, bad day or not. Not ever my purpose to upset you for anything. I also hate that you are not feeling well. I hope you get better very soon.

391


Well shucks P.J. - I was looking at your description and thought - Holy Cow - I now know what is wrong with me - I have been pregnant (with twins) for about 2 years now --- Lynda - All intaglios are beautiful - even the busted up ones - Meet a man some years ago that I would send my really rim broken ones to - He used them as fancy windows in his hand-made miniature houses -- My feeling is that if something started out beautifully made - it will always wind up beautifully preserved - even if it is in a box in my garage - lol lol --

392


Mary: That sounds like a beautifully creative way to use beat up intaglios. Nine times out of ten the only problem with them is rim chips. Wish there was some way to see his creations. I've always been fond of miniature houses but never actually built or owned one.

393


I'll see if I still have his e-mail - I lost touch when I had the neck surgery - so it has been a while - but hopefully I have it and it will work - I know he said he would send me pictures one time - Years ago I bought a box of craft items and the young man told me his grandmother had made the houses - I did not pay any attention until I got the boxes home and started to see what I had - This is one of the



houses - She carved them out of one piece of wood - balsa I think and then decorated them - I love miniatures too - but even more so if they are hand-crafted -- This blue house has always been my favorite of the bunch -- Curtains in the windows -

Mary, apparently you have not been studying your Neal book like a good salt collector or you would have known that there is a documented Square Lacy salt, page 426, SE1, Origin France, clear, very rare.

lovers, Mary, Janelle and Nancy.

Lynda LaLonde03-31-201510:53 AM ET (US)IP: 73.22.4.12 Running out of words....LOLOLOL bet you guys wish I was running

out of salts.

482

amber and blue. Must still be packed.

487


OK, this should be it. The green is not a salt. My Mom gave it to me. She brought it over from France when she married my Dad. I treat it like my beloved salts.

Is it, is it huh?? I'll have all your BARTHOLDIs and that little pink cut. Thanks ever so much!(wiping up drool as I type)

03-31-201501:09 PM ET (US)IP: 74.105.144.96 Wow, we are sure going out with a last hurrah! Some wonderful

squares there.This wood one was made by my son who is currently working on the Duke U. Library in N.C.

491

Judy in Texas03-31-201502:54 PM ET (US)IP: 68.94.10.198

I recall a comment made buy Ed Berg about square salts somehow limiting their collecting. After seeing Jan and Lynda's posts that seems impossible. If you guys need to ship a few out to gain space...I can find a shelf or two for them. Just fantastic ladies!

03-31-201503:32 PM ET (US)IP: 74.105.144.96

Not mine, but wish it was.

493




LOLOLOLOLOLOL, GOD I LOVE YOU LADIES. What I love most is your willingness to share. Thank you so much, you make my day. Jan, these colored salts are the ones you guided me to get 15 years ago. You are the reason I have a collection to show.

494


JYETTE, My dear Lord. A Pokal....never seen one. IS IT Royal.??? WOW. I am at a loss, so beautiful.

495


Going to try to do this backwards

496


Will say what should be said 1st---last and it will be 1st on my post.

497


Only problem is I want to explain myself

498


Late April squares

Lynda LaLonde04-03-201502:21 PM ET (US)IP: 73.22.4.12 H J #2748.... I believe. These have an inner rim to them that does not

show in the book.

506
