Yes, thank you ... yellow glass ... it *is* beautiful!; I had to keep my number up in the air at the auction till I got it all ... which is pretty stupid when you don't even know what pattern it is!!! LOL. Was quite a few tumblers, footed tumblers, and a big pitcher in the lot.

Yes it is and BTW there is also a Florentine #1 "Florentine" Old Poppy #1.
The difference between the patterns.
One of the most confusing things for new collectors is learning the difference between Florentine #1 and #2. The scalloped edges occur on all flat pieces of Florentine #1. All footed pieces such as tumblers, shakers or pitchers have the serrated edge. In Florentine #2 all pieces have a plain edge. Florentine #1 was once advertised as hexagonal and Florentine #2 was once advertised as round.
I think your tumbler is Florentine #2.
I collected the green at one time and mine was Florentine #1.
That is a nice pattern. Check eBay as they might have some on their.

I honestly think you would get more in your mall space. Try it there first and if no luck try eBay. If you have enough to make a set (4 piece place setting) that might be the way to go as new buyers are looking for the sets. Now don't under price it as eBays prices are really cheap.

ARghhh... I couldn't agree with you more ... yes have a set of footed tumblers, and a set of regulars tumblers, and a pitcher ...
Gee whiz, this just turned non-ebay related. LOL

No it didn't since you are searching eBay.
