Oh no! That's the worst :/

Well that stinks. I guess that makes mine that much rarer haha!

Sugarcube, does yours have Trapeze swingers like mine?

There is a Circus theme on ice buckets and tumblers that I've seen. Those are from the 1970's but my plates are not pictured in that set in my "Designed and Signed" book. I do see one coaster in the book that has Trapeze swingers and it's from the 1980's. So I'm guessing mine was from around that same time...It's just odd that there doesn't seem to be a single one in existence on the internet haha.

Oh, I thought the post didn't work yesterday! Sorry for the double post then. It's odd. I have no idea what to price them at

Hello again,

I've been collecting and selling vintage and antique kitchen / glass wares for a few short years now. Georges Briard pieces have generally been very good sellers for me. I recently found this pair of plates and can't seem to find anything like them anywhere. I'm looking for approximated guesses for value. I'm thinking they were made in the 70's or maybe even the 80's, which doesn't make them very "antique" but I didn't know where else to look.

 They measure 7 1/2'" and the back says "CIRCUS as interpreted by Georges Briard"   Any and all information and/or guesses are greatly appreciated!

As always, thank you!

One more quick question:

I see now that there were fruit bowls with stands as well as punch bowls with stands. Do you think the stand was interchangeable? Or did the two bowls have different sized stands?

Hmmm...there's an option. I would just worry that I'd mess it up somehow, haha. Something to look into though, thanks.

I love these old trunks. I have one that was in my Grandma's house and one that I pulled out of a dumpster (I don't often go dumpster diving, but I couldn't let it go to the dump!). I would love to get them restored. Does anyone know how much that generally costs?

Yes! That looks like the one, Rauville. Thanks so much!

Thank you, Mart. And, yes, it is the Marigold color.

Thanks again

Good evening!

I have this Carnival Glass punch bowl stand and was hoping maybe some glassware expert (or semi-expert) could tell me what company made it or the pattern so I can find the matching set someday. It stands about 5 1/4 inches tall.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
