Cristalleries De Saint Louis crystal

17 years ago

Hello! I am looking for a person or place where I can find info on very old St. Louis crystal. It is rose colored, swirl type, hand blown stemware. No, it is NOT depression. It is much older than that, and the wrong color, not to mention that it is crystal. (Obviously, most people who see it make that mistake, lol) Anyway, my mom got it from the former owner of a major trucking company in CA, way back when, and has passed it to me. Basically, I am just trying to find out the pattern and color names, when it was made, etc. I have been unable to track down any books or websites that have this kind of info. If anyone out there can help, I would really appreciate it!! Thanks!!

Can you post a picture? You say St Louis crystal? you mean made in St Louis? I don't know of any St Louis glass companies, but there might have been one.
Very old? how old?
Sounds to me like that they call "elegant depression glass"...of the era but a finer quality than what we call depression.

Duh!! The dawn!! The French glass house!
How do you know that it's from the St'Louis Cristallerie? Does it have a peper lable?....that tells me it's not too old.
The glass house has been making glass sinec the early 18th century....so there were a lot of patterns.

Patty, the thing is, there are a few people here on citrus who disagree with anything I say..So we talked about figs, no biggie.. There are posts here on Citrus fourm where people have discussed papayas, banans, and other fruits, yet they weren't told by anyone to go to the banana, papaya, or other forums.. I want to thank you Matt, because you read between the lines of Drichards post to me. I would like to persoanlly thank you. So, Patty, do you understand what Matt was trying to convey? It's not a matter of talking apples and oranges, it's just another insensitive remark, meant to hurt me..Maybe Drichard wants me to leave Citrus forum..that's how I'm reading his post..he's telling me to go to fig forum.

How about a total house makeover? The kitchen needs updating; all my paint colors are just a bit short of "spot on"; I yearn for the furniture pieces I should have gotten if I could've looked into the crystal ball and seen the 4-legged furball that would soon come into my life and leave hair all over; the patio needs fresh bricks or pavers and can't-kill plants ... And I'm sure it wouldn't be too much to ask if a really talented designer who "speaks" my language -- casual contemporary -- and his/her "staff" came in and did everything while I went on vacation! (I hate thinking about what it's like to live with this going on -- even having to be here when the handyman was changing out bathroom fixtures was a hassle and a boring waste of time for me!) In lieu of all that "all at once," I guess I'd really want something money CAN'T buy: Total satisfaction with what I have. Well, maybe when I get the patio redone ... that's next on the list unless my homeowners' association finds something else I need to take care of first! (PS: Can I pls borrow the pool boy? please please please? I have no pool, but I can find some other tasks around the house to keep him busy -- like making me some mojitos and cleaning the fridge and stove once in a while!)

Where are we from?

Howdy, y'all. Native westerner, I now live in a Vermont village, just two blocks from the village green, in a 1300 sq foot house. This is the largest house I've ever lived in. It's also the first not in the country (or in the wilderness) in a good few decades! This house began as a 14 by 18 foot post-and-beam two-story cottage sometime in the mid-1800s built from trees on the property on a native dressed marble foundation. One room down with cooking porch, one room up. Over the years it has accreted 7 additions (which is why my kitchen has 8 doors and no window). It was neglected and in sad condition when I bought it, and is gradually recovering. Dayle Ann Here is a link that might be useful: Pics of my house when I bought it...

Is Anyone Shopping Kmart's Double Coupons??
Q
Comments (20)
If they told you 'no' try again. I copied this from another board- I called Kmart's customer service last night after reading the thread about the double coupons (where had I been????) and asked if my store was included in the double coupons. She said that all stores have now been included. I told her that my store didn't know anything about it (which wasn't entirely true but I wanted to know what the response would be). She told me that they should know by now because of a major issue with it and all stores were now included and the managers should have gotten the numerous emails telling them they are included. She said if I had any problems to have the store call customer service. She also gave me her name as a reference and said she logged my call. HTH

It does not have a paper label, and has been attributed by several auctioneers and appraisers. Anyway, the only thing most of them can tell me is pre 1925, judging by the way it is made. I am unable to post pics at this time, sorry. I am able to find the basic history of the company, but cannot seem to find any literature or catalog type things to compare to, for pinning down approximate date and other pertinent info. I am not selling or anything, just interested in finding out what I can. Thanks for the help so far.

You can look through these current patterns & see if anything looks familar. Or, maybe, give these people a shout-out & see if they can help you I.D. your pattern?

I've got lots of reference books on 18th century glass. Do you suspect it's that old? If so, and you can get a picture online...I'll be glad to search through our books.

Happy Hunting...
