Vintage Thingies 25 - Glass

This week we go a little deeper in my newly cleaned kitchen cupboard. (I wonder how long it will be decent to call it newly cleaned?) This is Vintage Thingies Thursday hosted by Suzanne. I have added the link button to her blog in my right sidebar.



My blue glass bowl is from a small Finnish factory, but I have not looked for further details yet. I love the cut decoration on it. I think I could serve ice cream from this bowl, or use it as a vase. I have the bowl from my mother and can't remember it ever being used at home.





The next two items I have used a lot, because when I started my own household I didn't have anything else for my sugar.




This I used to sprinkle sugar on my porridge in the morning:



And this other one was when I wanted to take spoonfuls of sugar.




Now I have found better use for it and keep Karen's silk beads in it on display. Sugar is more convenient in a plastic container, when you have a family!


Have you seen all the other Vintage Thingies of this Thursday? The link list is on Coloradolady's blog.

    I can very clearly imagine a huge ice cream sundae dripping with chocolate sauce and whipped cream sitting in that lovely blue glass bowl!

    That bowl is a beauty and I love the little snowflake pattern in the top of the sugar shaker.

    I love the periwinkle (vinca) pattern on the top of your sugar shaker.

    I can see why the blue vase migh've been kept for best- it is very beautiful.

    oooo.. that blue crystal ice cream dish is gorgeous. So delicate. And I love the little flowers cut in the top of the sugar shaker. NICE way to display Karen's lovely silk buttons.
    I totally missed VTT this week.
