Well it didn't take to long to find an intact Bubble Glass cup & saucer, to go with the pieces I dug out of the ground where my Maternal Grandparents use to live. Those pieces where from a plate but this is a start, we got this at an antique auction yesterday. Waited all day to get it but was worth it, got it for $3.00.

Thanks scandi, didn't have to go very far to get it either.
It's kind of amazing, dig in dirt find shards of glass, Mother recognizes it, find an intact one at a local auction.
Before this I didn't even know what bubble glass was.
Well done, the beginning!....:-)
Thanks Inky for the Love & the comment, now I need the clear plate, & then a green set!
This is so cool. Love it.

Thanks for the love, Geno & Moon.
It reminds me of the Tapio Wirkkala glass with the bubbles on the bottoms of the glasses:)
@Sean, I had to look that up, is it the Ultima Thule design? It is very unique, I thought it looked like ice, then read the description "icy landscape".
An interesting fact the Thule people were early inhabitants of the coasts of Alaska, northern Canada & Greenland.
Hello David :) yes it is about the ice , yes it is very interesting inhabitants of the coasts of Alaska and northern Canada&Greenland:) ill post my Tapio Wirkkala glasses later so yo can see the bottoms:) but the ARE WONDERFUL :)
