A garden of glassware

Article Abstract:

Victorian era collectibles of enameled glassware, including tumblers, vases, and wineglasses in clear, opaque and colored glass, serve as dishes and decoration. Glassware with simple repeating designs like flowers composed of tiny dots that became the fashion around the turn of the 20th century, when enameling methods were mechanized is often available in matching sets, but choices to mix and match patterns and colors are plenty.
