As far as I know the maker of this Décor has never been identified. However it sits well with my Art Deco stuff and I like it.
As you see the décor goes over the knob of the lid. What is more you can see (image three) that the knob is hollow and probably has the same layers as the lid and the bowl. I have only one other lid with a knob formed like this! The spatter is mostly of medium sized blobs except for areas that look like pointillism! Then of course it has a black web as well.....

Silly question ... Why are these type of pieces predominately orange ?
Sorry ... Just looked at other show and tell posts with a variety of base colors ... I guess the orange just seems to be catching my attention ...
Don't say sorry, say what you like.....within reason! I think orange was the colour of the epoch....or at least vivid child's paintbox colours. Think Clarice Cliffe for instance.
Correction.....Clarice Cliff
I've noticed the predominance of orange in these pieces too. They do make for great seasonal decor, especially filled with Halloween candy. :)
Nice idea, mikelv85! Orange must have been the most popular colour as now, close on a century later, it's the most commonly found of the Tango colours.
A good question!Colours of 1920-1930 were imperial blue,gold,carnelian,silver and apricot brandy in contrary to previous light and delicate colours of Art Nouveau.
Your box,Peggy is a pretty sample of carnelian,I think.
Ahhh ... The origins of artistic inspiration are fascinating for sure ...
Thank you, Ivonne. Chambers Dictionary gives carnelian/cornelian as 'translucent red'. The interior is certainly verging on a red.
So, Lisa, as this box has black accents it is true Tango Glass....peoples definition of Tango vary greatly.
It seems the origins of the name 'Tango Glass' has been helpful for eye4beauty, thank you.
There, eye4beauty .....always worth asking the question :-)
Hi, Lisa, my reply was hurried, that's all.....Peggy
great colors!!!!
Yes SEAN, dazzling!
Thanks for the loves, mikelv, Moonstonelover, rucklczglass, Ivonne, Alan, Radegunder, SEAN, cornhusker and Efesgirl.
I think art is meant to provoke ... If someone can paint a dog that makes me think of a bird ... genius ...
Eye, I can only paint a dog that looks like a bird.....
Lol ... Thanks for this post ... 100 year old piece of glass ... Will the maker please stand up and state your name ?
Tangerine dreams.....
Karen ... Perfect ...
Not sure why I am commenting here ... This got my attention for some reason ...
Le mot juste, Karen :-)
Thank you for the loves, vetraio, racer, VioletOrange and Michelle.
Love the FALL/Autumn colors -- Stunning
Thank you so much for the love and the comment, antiquerose :-)
a very alegre box, perhaps a gay box? it does not sound me in English
Thank you, kivatinitz, perhaps you mean 'allegro' as in music, meaning lively or bright? It is certainly bright in the 'colourful' sense. I do have a second language so I completely understand the frustration of not being able to say exactly what you feel. However it does not happen to you very often :-)
Thank you for the loves, antiquerose, Elisabethan, smiata, kivatinitz, EZa, Manikin, Justanovice, IanBrighton and Rick.
Je l'ai aime encore plus q'hier, moins que demain............... ;-D

I think it is a product of Ernst Steinwald. see Decor 2144 (Blatt 16) or Decor 1079 (Blatt 19): https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/284647-ernst-steinwald-and-kralik-dcors?in=442-activity
Thank you, Larksel, the décor has been unknown for so long, but no more! The spatter is quite distinctive and I have two other pieces in the spatter, but without the trailing. perhaps their day will come one day!
The attribution of Peggys piece to Steinwald appears to be based on two pieces of artwork in a lighting catalog. The two suggested decors are:
Decor 1079
Decor 2044
I am curious as to what the difference between those two decors would be?
I am also interested in knowing if the discovery of these pieces of line art indicate to folks that all of the examples of a spatter with dark veins or webbing applied are then determined, based on the two pieces of line art, to be a decor which is limited to the production of Ernst Steinwald?
Is it not possible that there was more than one house that produced a similar decor (the battle cry of some of the Bohemian Glass Group members in facebook), and if the answer to that is yes, would it not be necessary to confirm examples individually through same shapes with other known Steinwald decors?
In the linked image below, the two Steinwald decor line art examples are shown. Below that is one example of a lamp which can be said to be Steinwald production based on the shape and the decor. This match of decor and shape would seemingly indicate that the lamp is shape 4281, and possibly in decor 1079. I think that is a reasonable attribution claim. It is a little problematic that the line art colors do not closely match the lamp example.
The image shows another 9 examples of spatter decors with webbed veins. Under what conditions can any, or all of these, aside from the lamp, be supportably declared to be Steinwald?
To my eyes at least, Peggy's covered dish is noticeably different than decor 1079, as evidenced by the lamp example matching the production line art. The decor on Peggy's piece is also noticeably different in appearance than the other drawing of decor 2144. So how is the link made between these examples?
Simply assuming that any decor similar to the line art is also Steinwald should not be made, at least if the desired end result is supportable research that will stand the test of time. Just my 2 cents worth.

So Craig, back to the drawing board!
Possibly Peggy. I am not declaring that it can't be by Steinwald. I am simply pretty confused about how we get there in light of the pertinent questions that remain. If I apply the same methodology to this line of glass that I have applied to Welz research, the answer is still a long ways away.
