    Hello:

    Was surprised to see than there are No posts here on CW for SEETUSEE GLASSWARE from Canada. I guess this is the first for CW. Ebay has them on there, but none on here.....So Enjoy!!

    Small ruffled bowl of many colors with it stamped mark on the back. It's number is M72. It is about 5.5 inches across, and 1.25 inches tall. Please NOTE: All true Canadian made ( Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, CANADA ) are painted Gold on the back of the Pigskin Backing -- YES, true Pigskin.

    I have about 5 pieces here, so check out those posts. No two are truly alike as the colors on the front would always vary.

    Here is some info/link on this Glassware from the site of CANADIAN DESIGN RESOURCE [quoted below]:

    http://www.canadiandesignresource.ca/ceramicsglass/seetusee-glassware/

    """"Seetusee was a glassware manufactured in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, Canada from 1960 until 1975...........All Seetusee pieces are unique as they were hand painted, cured and carefully sealed with a pigskin backing with a distinctive finish of gold paint that sets them apart from Mexican pieces. The colours are mixed, exciting and vibrant and have stood the test of time. Like many styles of art or craft they have gone through periods of popularity and decline. Each of the huge variety of shapes are identified by a number (with or without an ‘M’ prefix) stamped on the pigskin backing. The brand (Seetusee by Mayfair Glass) is also named on the backing, either in the form of a stamp or via a sticker label.

    Look out for them, they are very beautiful and are becoming quite collectible.""""

    ~ ~ Hope you Enjoy -- Watch for the others ~ ~

      lol....and You never check the Back of them for the Mark?? Make sure it is a Gold backing.

      Thought I would post these today, since it is like (minus) - 35 C here and with the windchill it is like (minus) - 50 C.

      So GREAT DAY to be on CW......LOL

      Hi can you tell me a bit more about my piece it has a sticker on the back which is gold and red writing and it's very alike these ones
    8. rori27, 2 years ago
      I grew up spending my summers in Portage la Prairie. I was always mesmerized by these pieces. I lived there a couple of years in my youth and saved up to by a small dish. It was left behind, years ago, in my father's house and I never saw it again. I hope it ends up in someone's collection as it was a pretty and precious thing.

      @antiquerose thank you for reminding me of how much I loved these as a child. It is weird how if you throw it out to the universe it comes back to you. Since I originally saw your post I ran across the tiniest piece of Seetusee I have ever seen at a garage sale of all places. I of course snapped it up. It is about 3 inches across and in pristine shape. Then tonight I ran across a piece for sale locally and bought it. It is more typical at about 8 inches across and very symmetrical. I still wish I had held onto my original piece from my childhood but who knows. Perhaps it will find its way back to me someday.
