Thank you for the picture !  The heavy green glassware is by Fostoria and I received pieces of it for engagement and shower gifts.  After many years of use, I finally gave / donated the set.

@jlkz You're welcome!  I had this set from Fransciscan which were bought to go with a pretty set of green dishes that liiked like a design of ink drops on water.  I gave the glasswear and the set of dishes to my DIL.  They were lost in the fire they had a year ago a month after Christmas.  Very little was saved.

AS newlyweds we liked them because they looked like they could have come out of a castle.

Yes. I have the Ivy pattern that belonged to my mother.

@D Kay Do you use it?  I've always loved it!

I have the Desert Rose (from when it was made in England), but always wanted the Ivy.  I prefer solids these days, but I would love to mix a few pieces of Ivy in with my Pottery Barn Cambria in Celadon.

That Ivy pattern is very pretty. I love all of the Franciscan patterns. 

I've collected Fresh Fruit over the years.

@ECBG What is that hanging on your wall? It looks like a wasp's nest, but certainly not...It looks lovely and must be some kind of artwork/decoration, but my mind can't quite make sense of it!

@MomIsMyOnlyIdentity Yep!  Actually,  a 30 year old wasp's nest which has oak leaves woven into it!  Before we ever brought it in the house it was in the freezer a week.  We got it at a big antique show!

It's perfect here with our wooded lot looking at the mountain.

@SandySparkles Oh, Honey, the table with the ivy dishes isn't mine.  I just put that up to show the dishes.  My dining room is on this thread, though.
