This my example of a Durand production shape #1824 purchased from the estate of a glass hoarder. I spotted it hiding amongst a room full of American cut glass only seconds before my sister did. Thankfully, we're good natured about our collecting and don't fight over the pieces we find.
I love the blue and white King Tut pattern and the unusual bulbous shape. It is the first piece of Durand in my collection, but it certainly won't be my last.

I love Durand. At one time my eBay name was OnlyDurand. I managed to collect about 100 pieces of Durand but later sold alot of it off so I could buy other makers.
