5 Little glasses

[mart]

Oh !! You meant the edging style on the glasses ??  First see if Circle Glass did make them and then we can go from there !! Just keep in mind,,even if they didn`t value would still be on par with theirs or a bit more just due to the style !!

This is my reply from Circle Glass (Circleware)

Hi Deb,
We do not carry anything like that, nor have I seen anything like that in all the while working in the industry.
Sorry I cannot help further.
Should there be any thing additional I can assist, please let me know.
Thank you.

And you did tell them where you are located ??   I find that confusing since they made a very similar foot on their glasses !!  Did they say what the difference was or what made yours different !! Yes I know they have etched tops but so does thousands of others !! The pattern is not unique !!

[debc]

Yes, I told them my location.  I don't know what to say, that is the response I received. Lol maybe he just started in the industry.

The first ones with the flat bottoms are Galaxy pattern,, the more rounded foot is Fireball !!  Mine still have the Circleware sticker so I know they made them !!  Just odd to me they would say that !!

[KC]

I am also surprised/shocked by that reply Mart!  Might be a newbie at the company?

[mart]

I may send a pic of mine and see if I get the same answer,,with the sticker !!

[debc]

Good idea Mart, to send them a picture of yours.  My big question is, were they around in the 50s or 60?  When I look at the fireball and galaxy patterns I see modern shot glasses.  Mine were on my parents glass shelves in the basement of our house in our brand new rec room.  That being said, if the patterns you are speaking of were made in the 2000s I don't understand why you think they are circleware.  I have sent another letter inquiring as to how long they have been in business for as I cannot even find that online.
Good Luck Mart !!

I have seen several different styles with the bases like yours and tops were all different (but not etched like yours).  I believe these are cordial/apertiff glasses.

Debc,

These are definitely from the 1950's.  Found many items with "controlled bubbles".  If you search 1950s bubble glass.  I did find a very similar set of 4 that sold for $75 in 2012.

Here is short data base about the company

The Pairpoint Glass factory is very close to me and they still produce expensive bubble glass.  Erickson was a glassblower at Pairpoint.

Excellent PeLady !!  I have looked everywhere for something similar !!  See,, you just gotta` know where to look !!  Brownie point for you !! 
And Circle Glass has only been in business for about 35  years so they are out !!  No matter what search term I used nothing except Circle Ware came up !!  I did not try "controlled bubble" !!  Must remember that one !!

[debc]

  Thanks Pelady,  I found something about controlled bubbles just this morning.   Didn't read much about it but I will now.  I think this was making Mart and myself a little crazy.  I really appreciate all the help and suggestions from all of you.  This is a fun place to come and I look forward to reading about my things as well as everyone else's.  Visiting this forum makes my morning coffee all that much better.

[mart]

Crazy is right !!  Why didn`t I find all those ??  Should have looked at both KC`s links too !!  She gets a brownie point as well !!
Glass drives me nuts anyway !!  Think I will stick with furniture,, something easy !!

[KC]

Mart, you are probably crazier from lack of sleep because I saw what time your posted - 4:31:45am.  Even your rooster wasn't up yet!    LOLOL

[mart]

LOL !!  No he wasn`t !!  Thank heavens he slept in !!  Or did you mean a "real" rooster ??
