I popped out for eggs, and came home with this chunky olive green relish tray. I have looked it up and it is Indiana Glass, maybe 1970's? When looking it up I found a boxed example on ebay, and the box calls it a "Vintage 5 Part Relish". I thought it odd that it's called vintage! It's very attractive with impressed fruit in each section. I've added a picture of our friendly garden Robin, as he appeared while I was taking photo's and is very cute!
I have the orange/amber glass colored one. I also got it as vintage but not that old, still lots of them around. I like the design, and great place to keep things on the counter.
I am in the UK and it's the first time I've come across one of these. When I said it said vintage on the box, I meant the original name printed on the box was Vintage 5 Part Relish!
I've added a pic of the box.
What a lovely fruit embellished tray, and your garden bird is a beauty
The box is not mine I took pic off internet to illustrate that it's called vintage! I am aware of the American Robin. It always jarred with me that in Mary Poppins, set in London, that an American Robin come to Mary Poppins hand in "A Spoonful of sugar"!
I have one in crystal. These are pretty beefy. I like the green!
AdeleC, lovely tray, perfect for the thanksgiving coming.
You little bird is not a Robin, but a kind of Warbler, I am not home now, but I will comeback to you later today, with the kind of warbler it is.....Lovely little guy
Alan the bird is a European Robin. I live in the Uk, and it is our most loved garden bird. Very friendly, comes and watches while you do the garden
don't know the range of production but can confirm that the name 'Vintage' is also used in the 1978 catalog where this is listed as a 5-part olive (referring to color) relish; also listed in crystal and golden amber for that year.
I see, i read a moment ago, and that\s explain everything, this little fellow are in the family of Flycatcher, when i see your picture i was amaze about is very small beak and legs.
Here in Canada, Robin are way bigger then that.
