As you may already know, February's birthstone is the Amethyst. While appreciating this vintage glass, I began to think of other things I might have collected in this color.
Do you have anything you have collected in amethyst or purple?

It is a three footed candy dish.....
The three dark dots, in the center, are actually the position of the feet of the bowl. The color is so delicate they show through to the top side.
I also have a pair of vintage earrings.....
As I was writing, I remembered I had two other items, in amethyst color, to show you.
This is a mid-size mixing bowl, I use quite frequently in my kitchen. Because of writing today's post, the very small glass sitting in front of the bowl, has become more interesting to me.
I'm thinking it might be for serving an after dinner Liqueur drink. The surprise for me, while cleaning the glass for the photograph, was something written on the bottom of it. I've had it for many years, having no idea where it was made.
It took only one special moment, with the sun coming through the window of my kitchen, for me to see the word "Austria", faintly etched on the bottom......
