It's Sunday and time for Sunday Favorites. Please join Chari at Happy to Design to see the other favorites this Sunday.
From husband Jim were four cordial glasses to go with my collection. I have about 20 or so now and haven't bought any new ones in "forever". I like singles with no two exactly alike -- it's fun to serve after dinner drinks from them. Little sips of something almost syrupy sweet.
It is fun, when one goes to antique stores or flea markets, to see what one can find. My favorites, and the ones that I have the most of, are like the three -- the rounded bowl of colored glass which has been cut into revealing clear glass. Many of mine came from an antique store in Wichita, Kansas. I would buy another each time we visited Wichita and a stop at that antique store was a must!
All of these came from our trip to Minneapolis and surprisingly all were fairly inexpensive, at least according to my gift giving husband.
Perhaps the best cordial to sip out of them is my own homemade ones -- peach, apricot or orange.

Martha...they are so beautiful those cordial glasses. it brings back memories as my Mom use to have them a long time ago,I believe she use to have some in blues and greens also.
.......have a great day!
Aunt Amelia -- I dislike doing that, too, so that's why it isn't at Linderhof!
Erica -- I have some in blues and greens as well -- perhaps I should get them all out for a post sometime! (along with some of my homemade liqueur!)
Martha,
What a beautiful house you have! I have just gone through some of your previous posts and I love them all! I look forwrd to visiting again soon. Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a kind comment:).
Blessings,

Homemade cordial in those exquisite glasses - what a treat that must be. I like the idea of a variety of glasses - so much more interesting than a matched set.
What a lovely collection. Hopefully husband will get the hint. There are always birthdays!

Gorgeous cordial glasses, I'd also use them for an aperitif such as Pommeau which is made from apples and very popular here in Calvados.

I have some cordial glasses also and I use them to sip my ice wine.
I especially love the entertaining photograph. Lovely.
I too collect little cordial glasses and for our Christmas party this year it touched my heart to see my great grandmother's, grandmother's, and Mother's glasses being held by my closest friends.
Happy new year,

Simply stunning. I love those. The hunt is almost as exciting as getting them.
My mother had the prettiest set that had lovely jewel colored glass that fit into filigree silver holders/stems.
Alas as children we never saw the value in them and most were broken. I don't think any survive to this day.
Hi Martha...
So happy to see you for Sunday Favorites again this week! Oooh...what beautiful little cordial glasses! I would love to see your entire collection!!! I love the beautiful colors and I also like the idea of mixing the colors...much more interesting!!! Ohhh...I love anything apricot and would just love a taste of your homemade apricot liqueur!!! Serving it in these pretty cordial glasses would make it even tastier!!!
Well my friend, I just wanted to thank you for all of your support and participation this past year for Sunday Favorites!!! It's truly been a pleasure to have you! I always...always enjoy my visits at Linderhof!!! I hope that you had a fabulous Christmas! Sending you my warmest wishes and blessings for a wonderful new year!
