Glass Hat

Did some macro shooting today. This is a little antique glass hat that came from my grandmother's house. I think the pattern is called "buttons and bows"- but don't quote me on that!

I love antique glass, and your photo captures this piece so well. Nice light and colors.

Great detail especially of the pattern!

[Janet B.]

Oooo, this is lovely! What a treasure you have from your Grandmother's house, and you captured it beautifully. I collect both antique and contemporary glass. I'm drawn to the way he light plays on it as you show here in your pretty photo.

@eudora Thank you Diane!
@grammyn Thank you Katy! This macro lens was a gift and I'm really enjoying it!
@janetb Thank you Janet! Is this the Buttons and Bows pattern? I know it has a specific name but I don't remember if that's it.

@eudora Thank you so much for the fav Diane!

[Chris K]

love how it reflects the pretty colours in its pattern

[Janet B.]

@olivetreeann It looks like the Buttons and Bows pattern to me (which I've also heard referred to as Daisy and Button), but I'm no expert. I love the pretty yellow...my favorite color. It's beautiful, Ann.

My mom had one in pale pink glass, not sure pattern names but she always filled it with toothpicks

[Pyrrhula]

A beautiful micro capture . I find glass very difficult to get a good shot off. Well done.

That is very sweet, is it a candle holder?

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole- no, I'm not sure what it held, if anything. I think it's purely decorative. My grandmother used to have a bay window full of cut glass- I've always wished I could have one- but it would be way too expensive to change out the window in our living room. But I do have glass in the window at least and that's where this little fellow is.
