Found this a couple of weeks ago at the Salvation Army Store. It is very old but must has spent most of it's like in a china cabinet as the condition is superb for such an old glass, has a beautifully painted flower on it the lady at the shop knew but my memory for such things isn't the best. You can tell it's old as the base is not uniform so not made by modern machinery and the top isn't perfectly round. The glass is also a bit uranium in a very dark room.
So lovely! The arching white flowers and foliage are Lily of the Valley. I do not recognize the larger blossom; perhaps someone else will.
Well done Watchsearcher that is what the lady at the Sallies said too. The memory kicks in with some prodding. Thankyou.
I love those old glasses,so behind the times survivors .I used to collect them but unfortunetely they were broken and I didn't continue.
Most likely from a water set that would have had a matching jug. Very charming (I have an orphan lily of the valley tumbler in pale blue opalescent glass) & definitely worth saving from the op shop!
I'm looking forward to my own lily of the valley plants flowering in a few months time...
