Colin Purrington<p>I've come into possession of three sets of stemware from the early 1900s and I'd love to learn more about their origins. Are there any glassware nerds here?

Greg Miller<p>This cat cup was too heavy to start with. I almost saved it with the cobalt glazing, but had to go over the top and add gold to the eyes, which ultimately made it look like a crying kitty! Too sad! Currently redoing it and will restrain myself with the glaze. </p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/caturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>caturday</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/cats" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cats</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/cups" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cups</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/handmade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>handmade</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/ceramics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ceramics</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/pottery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pottery</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/fail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fail</span></a></p>
