Glass hunting at Cookstown Antiques Market
We ventured out to the Cookstown Antiques Market today. “The Barn“, as it is commonly known, is home to 35 dealers, over 6000 square feet.
I purchased this pressed glass creamer and sugar set. “Stipple & Swirl” was manufactured by the Dominion Glass Company. Dominion Glass was one of the few Canadian companies that produced Depression glass. Here’s a better picture of the stipple etching.
The market has a number of vendors specializing in Cornflower and there’s plenty of carnival glass too. I fell in love with this Fenton custard Vaseline glass compote. Fenton Art Glass Company is one of the largest and oldest manufacturers of handmade coloured glass. Visit their Collector Corner to learn more about this beautiful glass.
Every weekend, from May to October, The Barn is host to the “Flea Market in Cookstown”. Lots of great bargains and finds! Visit the Cookstown Antiques Market website for more details.
