Honeycomb Patterns for Flint Glass Collecting

Video Transcript

"This is a honey comb pattern, its compote, footed compote, and this one has a lovely sound to it. And this is a thousand eye, which has another nice sound to it; it's higher compote, depending on what you like. This is another pattern I like to show you, this is Hamilton pattern. It's really pretty, it's a little more intriquite, it's dated later, but it's also flint glass. It has a little lower ring to it. This is another pattern, which is an even higher compote, which is a diamond shape, and it has a very dull ring to it. So those are the compotes I have here today to show you in different patterns. And this is a Hamilton pattern also, with a covered sugar. We also have Argus and ash Burton, which people get confused because of the shape. The Argus has the half shape and the ash Burton has the full shape. But their very similar in pattern, this is your wine and this is your tumbler. So that's two patterns there. Another pattern I want to show you, which is very popular, and I like this one too. Pineapple. This is New England Pineapple produced by New England Glass Company. Made by alot of other companies but Cape Cod Sandwich Glass co produced this. And it's pineapple in the shape right here and almost a tulip shape around them. It's a really pretty pattern. This happens to be a covered sugar bowl. Then we have a goblet in the New England pineapple, we have an egg cup again, remember this is the smaller stem. This is not supposed to be an open sugar but the cover is missing, you'll see alot of this but you can tell the covers missing if you take a look at the ridge on the inside and you know something was sitting on here because it's not flush. If the top is flush, more likely than not it didn’t have a cover."
