After seeing Collectomanic's post this morning I thought I'd post the pieces I have. Various companies and pattern names make it confusing to ID these as I have found out. Here are some of the other items that match or go with the snack tray sets. I have the larger trays with the punch and juice glasses also the sherbet cups. Only three are complete sets. The forth is missing a punch cup. Not easy to find of course. A pair of single candle holders and a pair of the two light holders. I actually just found the two light ones at Salvation a couple of weeks ago. I think they are so cool ! The others I've had for ages and just never posted them. I'm kind of out of this phase of my collecting. Really time to pack them up and make some room. -Mike-
nice collection : ) many folks call this 'Candlewick' glass too. The 2-lite candlesticks are the only pieces here that are Imperial Glass #400 c1941. If you like 'bubble' glass patterns check out the Candlewick lookalike site:

Great looking pieces.
Thanks TallCakes :) I knew the two lights were Imperial just not the specifics. 1940...that's older than I thought !
Thanks so much Thomas...and you as well :)
Thank you Fort...yes they're just unusual enough to catch your eye !
I love bobbles!
The candlesticks are awesome and almost amusing....
Thanks Karen:)...I know right....there's just something about them. Fun to look at and touch !
I need that little cup of yours lol.
lol....I wish I had an extra for you Collecto......They are so hard to come by. I always see the trays in sets of four. I've only come across one cup in all this time since I bought my set of three and it had a broken handle. That was at Goodwill. I still need that elusive fourth cup. The handles can break off fairly easy so I guess a lot of them met a similar fate.
Mike, if you're looking online try searching: orchard crystal cup
just remember, they were made in three sizes
Thanks so much Tall Cakes :)
3 sizes? Once again, Great info :)
I may have read that old fuzzy ad incorrectly; looks like 2-sizes: 3 oz and 6 oz
Thomas, if you are missing the cup with the bubble handle can you post a pic of it by itself? And after what TallCakes said maybe the size info. I see these bubble handles at a store here all the time but I haven't even begun to purchase crystal yet.
I've never heard of this type of glass Mike... I love the pair of candle holders at the top of the page!
Bubble ware is so charming and attractive, I've a few pieces myself. I've seen the cups with the bubble handles around, will keep an eye out for you! :)
Thanks you One, Rick and Katherine :)...yes it is a wonderful design whimsical and Deco at the same time. @ Katherine...that's so nice of you to offer, Thanks so much :) We seem to have plenty of the trays around here. They're always bundled as a set of four for a couple dollars. The single candle holders are common too. The stem ware and the cups are somewhat scare and the two light holders are non existent let alone a pair. That was a real find !
It's the cups that I've seen here and there, I think. :)
Hi Mikelv. You say you have the larger trays as well? The tray you have here has 4 Boopie balls for each handle, my smaller square tray has 3 ball handles. Do you think we can safely assume there is 3 tray sizes with these 'smoke and a sandwich' party trays? > Thank-you Tallcakes for the cup info. < http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/179688-3-compartment-ashtray?in=user
I think there might be Collecto because the base of the cups are square to fit in the section without moving around too much. I've only seen trays like I have though. I've never seen the small ones until you posted yours. If there's a larger one still that would be a lap full. These are heavy enough even in this size. :)
Ok Thanks. Armed with info now. I hope to make up a set or 2 over the next few years.
I just purchased two boxes of this stuff today have been trying to figur out what it was called and worth
