Dresser Sets | ||
Old catalogs show these Grape and Cable dresser sets. The sets include two cologne bottles, a powder jar, a hatpin holder, a small pin tray and a large dresser tray, both oval. Many pieces are found with a plain band rather than the cable, and some found with a stippled background. Typically complete sets are hard to find as pieces are sold separately at auctions. Hatpin holders have been reproduced.
Enough vases, made from the hatpin holder, are known to suggest that they were a production item. Found in amethyst and this rare green. |

Pin dishes (shown above to the left) were made from the punch cups. Not all are as flat as this ice blue example, which sold in 1994. They are sometimes referred to as nappies. Pin dish or nappy whimsey, from punch cup: Amethyst/Purple, Green, Ice Blue, Marigold |
Candlesticks and Candlelamps | |||
While many collectors prefer to have a pair of these candleholders, many are sold individually. The candlelamps are two pieces plus a metal bracket to attach the shade to the base. The base is simply a candlestick.
Candleolders and shades come in Amethyst/Purple, Green and Marigold. |

Table Sets and Breakfast Sets |
The Grape and Cable table set consists of four pieces; a covered butter dish, a covered sugar bowl, an open spooner, and a creamer. Spooners filled with water and were used to hold serving spoons. These sets were destined for the dinner table. Above right is a photo of a Stippled Covered Butter Dish.
Breakfast sets had a smaller and more squatty open sugar and creamer only. Note that butter dishes have been reproduced. See an article on these reproduction butter dishes. |
