  1. Wright's Sweetheart repros were not done in opalescent colors, so these bowls are from the original production.
  2. Fostoria and other companies made these vases in the early 1900s. It is handpainted--over a line transfer. Made things go a little faster on the production line, a very common technique in this era.
  3. It was also made in the Kent/Mantua area of Ohio. I was very fortunate years back to find a rare bowl in this type of glass in what a glass collecting friend calls "citron" color. Was found at a fle...
  4. As TC says, this pattern is usually attributed to USGCo, but there is no concrete evidence. It could just as well have been a member of National Glass Company. It doesn't appear in any glass company...
  5. Don, Fostoria's American was introduced in 1915.
  6. Let me know if you need any help. I may have some scans of original catalogs that show this type of caster
  7. Welcome!
  8. Andy, These are European, most likely Czech from the 1950s-1960s era
  9. Thanks for posting these cool ads, Mustang!
  10. Highly doubtful that Federal received moulds for the entire Georgia aka Peacock Feather line, which was quite extensive. Less than a dozen different pieces of this pattern are shown in the 1914 Feder...
  11. Indiana introduced this line in the 1920s and it was made through the depression era in clear, pink, and green. The company had a habit of reintroducing their patterns made from original moulds, and ...
  12. Large one with beads on edge is Imperial's Candlewick; oval one on pedestal base is English Hobnail by Westmoreland, but I believe Summit (and/or perhaps other companies) has produced this in more rec...
  13. Pauline, this is pressed glass meant to imitate cut glass. The pattern is Illinois made by US Glass Company, introduced in the late 19th century. It's part of what is called the "States Series," as ...
  14. Yes, most likely depression era and possibly a bit later. I've seen same shape cream and sugars decorated various ways. The design is actually engraved over the ruby stained band rather than "etched...
  15. Most EAPG is pressed, but there are patterns of mould blown glass that qualify as EAPG and are collected as suc The dark green found in "Burple" (and other patterns of this era) is technically For...
  16. Loosely could be called a caster set. This is European and a very nice example, also quite nice to find it intact.
  17. Yes, this is indeed cut glass...but would not be classified as ABP (American Brilliant Period) because of the flowers (left in the gray, as we say). The band of cane cutting is an ABP motif, but towa...
  18. Glad I could help, now rest those eyes!
  19. You're right, Don, close names and that's what I get for posting at 3am after a gig!
  20. Imperial's "Long Hobstar" Also found in carnival colors.
  21. This is earlier than Depression Glass, it is called EAPG (Early American Pattern Glass). The pattern is No. 15103, Stellar by United States Glass Company, introduced ca. 1907. Some items are still s...
  22. Kemple acquired a lot of McKee's moulds for their pres cut lines. They produced them mainly in color, but could have made clear glass too. I've seen this Yutec creamer (with lid) in blue and amber b...
  23. "Two Panel" was actually not made by Richards and Hartley. Early authors attributed it to them, and others merely repeated that information. It doesn't show up in any glass company catalog that I kn...
  24. This is EAPG, made by Central Glass Company ca. 1880s. The company originally only gave the line a number, but collectors call it "Simplicity". It appears to be the sugar bowl missing its lid. Poss...
  25. victorianscript (at) aol (dot) com
  26. Agreed, that's why it's good to stay abreast of current research by joining the West Virginia Museum of American Glass and EAPGS. Both put out quarterly publications. The former is a bit more schola...
  27. The field of EAPG is so broad that one reference book cannot include everything. Thousands of patterns were made between ca. 1850 and ca. 1915 that it would be impossible to include everything in one...
  28. It truly is. It practically glows, even without UV light. Very deep canary, typical of US Glass from the 1920s.
  29. The candle holders are not EAPG. They appear to be "lead crystal" that is often touted as 24% from Eastern Europe. The giveaway: the light cutting on the whirling star that has been left in the gray...
  30. Ruby stained souvenir items had rather long lives. Duncan's "Button Arches" can be found with names and dates going into the 1930s, 1940s, and even 1950s. I have a RS toothpick in Co-Op's Madoline t...
  31. US Glass Co's Athenia (OMN), aka Reverse 44 aka Paneled 44 also exists in solid canary (vaseline) glass. I have a covered puff box (marked). Guessing they revived the mould during the 1920s when the...
  32. Quite welcome ant123!
  33. Not a dumb question at all. The Rakow Research Library at the Corning Museum of Glass holds many catalogs on microfilm.
  34. It's one of those things people seem to either love or hate. I think it's great--very indicative of the period it was made. Glad you are enjoying and appreciating it. Some people strip off the pain...
  35. This is the small size punch bowl in Northwood's Grape and Cable pattern. The line was so large that it contained three different sized punch sets. Originally there would have been a matching pedest...
  36. It is Indiana Glass, but can also date later than 1930. Many of Indiana's items had long lives, and a selection of "goofus" glass vases is included in their 1932 catalog, this being one of them.
  37. Yes, items like this show up in glass catalogs from Bohemia and Germany from the late 1800s to early 1900s
  38. Yes, Fenton's Stippled Rays
  39. Just noticed the ruler in your last shot, looks like it's about 10"--that would make it a large berry bowl or fruit bowl.
  40. Pressed glassware in imitation of brilliant cut glassware was very popular in the early 1900s. Pretty sure your bowl is Indiana Glass Company's Success pattern introduced right around 1910. The arra...
  41. The only piece that is EAPG in this group is the first plate, Imperial Glass Company's "Hobstar" aka "Roanoke Star" introduced about 1909. It is found in many shapes in clear and some in carnival colo...
  42. This color combination screams Tiffin, 1920s/30s. Look into that.
  43. Old moulds can be "refreshed" so to speak by a competent mould maker. I don't have an old Aztec butter dish to compare this to, but it's possible this may have been made from an original McKee mould, ...
  44. McKee's Aztec was introduced after 1900--I believe it was 1903 (can't recall right now, but definitely post-1900). Kamm erroneously dated the Tec patterns to 1894.
  45. To add to what TC has said, Fenton's Holly is more often found in carnival colors. When iridescent glass started to go out of favor, Fenton used many of their earlier moulds for production in transpa...
  46. welcome, Debbie!
  47. This is New Martinsville's Prelude etching, which was continued by Viking when NM went out of business. These lace-like floral etchings on clear glass were extremely popular for wedding gifts. Most ...
  48. Perfection Mfg Co also made water bottles, decanters, and cruets that were put together by means of a metal ring connecting the glass part which came apart for easier cleaning. In an era where sanita...
  49. Debbie, The sugar on the far right by itself is Imperial's No. 555 sugar. Was originally marketed as part of their Nucut line ca. 1911, was reissued as "Collector's Crystal" beginning in the 1960s. ...
  50. This may have been part of the Imperial line known as "Spun" or "Reeded" Try googling that.
