Hey All,
another glass mystery, don't know anything at all about these.
They were on my great-grandma's dresser for years, at least 50 I would say, and probably a lot longer than that as well.
There's no markings on any of the pieces, and searching for blue glass sets on websites doesn't seem to bring up anything that matches.
There is a tray, 2 bowls with lids, a larger bowl with lid, 2 candlesticks, and an odd shallow bowl with a raised point in the middle.
Couldn't even hazard a guess as to its use.
I've only got a couple of pictures of these, as we've packed them back up, but I could probably use an editor to zoom in on any parts of interest.
Note that one of the small bowls has has the point of its lid snappen off, and some slight damage on its base, but other than that it is in perfect condition.
As they were on the dining table at the time, they are placed on a standard placemat, which should give an indication of scale.

Thanks Mart
I've got a few photos of the other glass pieces I mentioned.
None of them are marked so any help with them would be fantastic
I`ll post the blue tinted ones in another thread as they seemed the most unusual

Wow, thanks for the help everyone!
Its hard to tell what colour it is even not on photos, its like a turquoisey blue mixed with purple....almost like when you see diesel on the road.
If any kind of light gets underneath the basket- weave shows through, and if you hold it up to strong light the whole bowl glows orange.
The basket- weave itself is a mix of bronze and purple, highlighted in with the turquoise.

it's right on the rim of the raised black part.
where the rest of it is black, there is a small part that looks more " silvery" as if the black has rubbed off... it's at about 8 o'clock if you think of the black part as a clockface

Thanks Mart,
I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a look alike.

Thanks for the replies!
Like I said, I honestly don't know much about this. It was just through google image searches and ebay that I found fenton used the pattern.
Unfortunately there are no markings on the base. It is a basket weave. There is a seam on the underside that runs all the way from the edge to where the base is formed.
How were these things made? Were they painted? On the black part of the base you can see where some of the black has faded or been rubbed off and it looks silvery...although still iridescent?
There were a few other old glass items in the house:
a glass jar and glass vase that my Grandma tells me could perhaps be "cranberry glass"?
a glass set comprising of a tray, 2 bowls, 2 candlesticks, a larger bowl, and something that looks like a small shallow bowl with a "tower" in the middle. These are all tinted blue.
There is a rose bowl, with a gold coloured lid (possibly gold plated?)
2 large decanters with crystal cut stoppers
and another glass set comprising of a tray, 2 candlesticks and a bowl, these are clear glass
If any of those seem worth posting let me know and I'll try and get a few pictures up.
Thanks very much for the ID on the second item as well Rauville, much appreciated

Also, this seems to have the same sort of shiny, rainbowy surface, although it didn't come out as well on the photo, is this carnival glass?

Hi All!
I'm very new to all of this so sorry if i come across a bit naive.
We've recently cleared out a house, and from looking around on the web we believe we may have a fenton carnival glass bowl.
The inside pattern appears to match the inside of google images for fenton bowls, but the shape of the bowl and the underside do not.

What do people think? Is it worth anything?
