Show & Tell Friday......Milk Glass Easter Collection.

It is good to be getting back in to blogging and with that also Show & Tell Fridays as well!

Thanks to Cindy at www.romantichome.blogspot.com Blog for hosting us. Be sure and see her fabulous blog and the others who are posting this week for Show & Tell Friday.

This week I thought I would show a favorite part of my Milk Glass collection which

is the Easter items. They are just whimsical , sweet and make me happy.
(Click on any photos to enlarge and see closer)

All set out on our dining room table for the photo shoot.

Normally they are housed in a lighted china cabinet I have in the corner of the living room.

There are many a plate and covered animal dishes.
The two painted pieces on the left, the plate and chick in egg on basket are probably two
of my more rare and hard to find pieces, especially with most of their paint still intact.
The chick in egg on basket was an amazing find at a garage sale, just laying on a blanket on the ground and for an amazing $8, it dates to late 1800s.


More plates and bunny covered dishes.
The two plates in the back again more rare because of all the paint intact.


The bunny, horseshoe and clover plate is a favorite.
So rare because it has most all it's paint still intact on the piece.
I also have this plate without the paint on it, in plain white.
This is also a late 1800s piece.


There are also come milk glass eggs as well.
And yet again more plates.
Most all these things were sold as gift or novelty items.
The large egg with the cross has a label on the bottom saying who it
was given to and for what occasion.


Another favorite plate with these figural almost three dimensional
chicks and eggs. A more rare and hard one to find.



The other side of the table.

More plates with bunnies, got to love those bunnies
especially at Easter time.

The plate on the left is the bunny , shamrock and clover one again but this

time without the painting on it.

Chicks, roosters are also a big theme in these Easter collectibles, like the plate on the right.

It reads " No Easter without Us" across the top.

Ducks are also part of the Easter themes.

This EASTER plate with ducks is my latest addition to the

collection, found on eBay.

Another version of the chick in egg but this time on a sleigh.

They did this chick in egg as the top to several different bottoms.

Chick egg cups are also an Easter staple.

The one on the right has a little chick face that is painted coming out of an egg which

is the cup.

And you can't have Easter without a crucifix or two , like this milk glass candle holder on the left.

Or milk glass baskets like this Imperial Glass Co. example on the right.

Hope you have enjoyed the tour!

Blessed Easter to you and yours!
