Is this Grenada or Pepita glass?
« on: September 28, 2010, 10:03:46 AM »
I picked up this biscuit barrel on the weekend and although biscuit barrels are not my thing it was the glass (and the price) that convinced me to bring it home. I am pretty sure this is made by Rindskopf but not sure if it is Grenada or Pepita glass. Anyone know for sure? The piece is 6.5" high.

I have posted pics on my blog:http://bohemianglasscollector.blogspot.com/

Thanks,
Mac

Hi Mac, It appears to be Pepita...... Grenada is more orange at the top, where this piece appears to be a burgundy in color....... 

See attached images....

Thanks Craig for clarifying.

I can never seen to remember which is which and I admit I was being a bit lazy - I could have done a little more research.

Thank you kind sir.

No problem Mac.  I just always remember that light colors come before dark colors and G comes before P.

Orange before Burgundy and Grenada before Pepita.....
