    Hello Everyone! I come once again seeking guidance on a pattern that has eluded me. The creamer stands about 3 1/8" high and 5 1/4" from spout to handle. The sugar stands 3 1/2 " high and about 5 1/2" across including the handles. I've checked my depression glass books and google searched but can't seem to turn them up. Any help regarding age, maker, etc. would be much appreciated.

    I don't recognize it right of, but I can tell you that it would be classified as "Elegant Glass", which covers the Depression Era and beyond. It's nicer glass then what is classified as "Depression Glass", plus, as I said, it can come from any era, whereas Depression Glass had to have been made during the Depression era

    The handle treatment and color might be Cambridge, but I don't recognize the pattern. Have you poked around there?
    Fostoria also came to mind, but I don't think they did much of that handle.

    The way I comprehend the descriptions linked below, the line name is Coventry and the shape number for the cream and sugar is 2834. But... I am easily confused, LOL.

    Fostoria #24 Monaco Crystal Print on #2834 Cream and Sugar
    [...] Fostoria's Coventry line blank was made from 1970-1971. The Monaco #24 crystal print was done on Crystal and Honey Gold.

    Thank you all so much for your help everyone. Clearly I was searching way too early a time frame! Fostoria was the first company that came to mind because it reminded me so much of Fairfax. But it had a pulled spout and a beveled edge treatment. This is the first time I've come across Coventry. It's a shame this pattern had such a short lifespan as it's really quite pretty. Gold is a good name for the color. It's really not a depression era amber. And thank you, msgood2shoes, for the definition of elegant glass as opposed to depression glass. I've never seen it so clearly stated, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that will find the way you stated that distinction helpful. Again, thank you all for taking the time to help me.
