Secret Life of Antiques: Collecting Antique French Utilitarian Decorative Glass

Antique French Utilitarian Glass makes a decorative statement displayed all by itself or in a collection. This glass is beautiful, and still very affordable, a perfect way to start a collection of antique and vintage glass pieces.

These antique and vintage storage and canning jars were all made in the early 1930's, in factories in Folembray, France.

Each of these is a lovely piece of French history. They are decorative as well as useful, each has their own personality and stories to share of their past in a French Cuisine.

Thank you for always featuring an antique I love to learn about. Here at the horse farm, or in our home in the Cotswolds in England I love to display a variety of antiques. Yours are amongst my favorites. You have a discerning eye, and a lovely way of explaining things. Merci beaucoup. Gratefully yours, Dorinne Von Trobel-Gravestein
