I often use mis-matching glassware pieces to hold silverware, napkins and sometimes straws. Celery stuffed with pimento cheese goes on a relish dish. Interesting Victorian history about celery...not going to call it a treat, though.Sue McPeakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927975578544675345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-15123029439195823092019-04-08T17:54:40.181-04:002019-04-08T17:54:40.181-04:00I hadn’t heard of celery vases or a spooner either...I hadn’t heard of celery vases or a spooner either.

The glassware is beautiful. I didn't have fancy glassware like this and the ones hubby's parents had were recently bought (in the 1970s). For the life of me, I can't remember what the company was that they got them from but we weren't interested in them and sold them when hubby was handling their estate. <br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.com
