Updated December 13: We only have two pieces left — Medium pitcher (no name), and Small pitcher with "Anna."

Here's what one buyer wrote after receiving their items:

"The glassware IS spectacular and it’s so much more than the pictures." 
- JPD, Pennsylvania

Early-American pattern glass souvenirs from the Columbian Exposition in 1893. Eight items, offered individually, including a one two-piece covered dish.

All but one piece are hand engraved with . . .

World's Fair
1893

All but one piece includes a person's name or reference to a person (such as "Mother").

The piece that doesn't have "World's Fair 1893" on it does have the name "Anna." It's a perfect little gift for the Anna in your life. 

The spectacular piece that says "Mother" is perfect for . . . you know.  And then there is "Mamma" and "Mama."

And if you were looking for a gift for someone named "Mrs. F. Green," then you've hit the jackpot.  Same with "Daisy" and a couple of others.

But even if you aren't buying for someone with a matching name, these are lovely and very affordable historic items directly connected to one of the great World's Fair, the 1893 Columbian Exposition.
