Amethyst Glass Cordials

greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Exchange: A Forum for Antiques and The Arts : One Thread

I have six Amethyst Glass cordials about 3 inches tall. They are somewhat irregular. I think they may have been distributed in Quaker Oats cereal years ago. Can you help me identify and value?

Thanks,

Tom, go to the library, and check out either Depression Glass, or Collectible Glassware from the 40's 50's 60's. Both are written by Gene Florence, who is widely considered to be one of the foremost experts on old glass. The books have nice, clear, color photos of each pattern. Good luck!
