It's 9 1/2" X 9 1/2" and about 1 1/2" deep if measured from the side down to the bottom on the inside. On the center 'square' you can see and feel a small indentation but I can't see any kind of mark there.

Antique Questions Forum / Looking for pattern help

« on: September 28, 2013, 08:28:21 am »

I'm trying to research this dish. I 'think' it's EAPG but I've been going through eBay listings for a couple of days so far and can't find it. Also can't find it in any of my books that I currently have though my library is somewhat lacking still. On one of the Facebook pages for EAPG someone called it Lacy Daisy by Westmoreland then a few more replies later someone said no that's not what it is so you can see how I get confused. Has anyone here seen this pattern before?

Thank you very much for the file. It will be a great help. I have six other pieces of silver deposit glass however none have any markings on them that I can find. They're not in any of the books I currently have so I guess for now I'll have to search the web for 'silver deposit glass' and see what I can come up with. All the patterns are similar though.

Found this Heisey silver deposit dish the other day on one of our trips. If you look closely at the 2nd photo you can see the Heisey diamond mark what you can't see is the 'H' inside the diamond. Does anyone have an idea of the time frame for this dish?

None that I can see but examining it under a good bright light the bottom has a gash across the bottom that is smooth, about 2 1/2" long and about a mm or less deep. Also the bottom feels rough. Where the top part of the handle is connected there seems to be a crack that runs the length of it however you can't feel it on the inside or outside. Here are a couple of more photos of the bottom and the side where the handle is connected with the 'crack'.

Realizing this is more than likely not an antique I'm trying to figure out what this pattern may be called. It's etched into the glass. I looked at all the photos of 'glass pitchers' on Ebay and found not a one that matches. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Mart, I guess then with any of the Schumann things I have I can only go by the from and to dates for either that pattern or mark. We picked those two up in Brennham last year and since then we've been there a few times but have never seen another like it or in any of the stores we've been to.

We've got several pieces of Schumann china that we've purchased . I've checked here http://www.efineantiques.com/webpages/figural_panels.htm but could not find the Arzberg mark on any of the Betsy Ross items however checking here http://www.efineantiques.com/webpages/schumann2.htm and reading the footnotes it says the mark was used from around 1930 and possibly up until the 1950s. Does anyone have any information on when it stopped being used and is there any way to date these plates?

Thanks Mart, are the reproductions also crystal?

Thanks Wendy, on the 2nd piece, I've been told that there should be a 'bee' somewhere on the bottom of the bowl but can't find it. I suppose then that if it's not there then it is one made by New Martinsville? The fourth piece pictured is actually crystal. I'll post another photo showing a close up of the bottom and a side view. I've gotten in one of the seven glass books I ordered, McCain's Field Guide to Pattern Glass. Hope some of the others come in before next Tuesday, we're heading out shopping.

I'll never be as good as some of you are but at least I'll have the references at hand if I think I can help someone.

Until yesterday I didn't even know this store was here and I'm told it's been in business for 10yrs. So we stopped in to see what they had. The first item, the cake plate is Mikasa though it's not antique I really liked it. The 2nd item, there seems to be some debate on the Early American Pattern Glass FB forum as to whether its Floral Oval AKA Cane with Sprig by New Martinsville or Buttons and Bows. The third bowl, I think it's Mikasa also but not sure. The fourth is crystal and haven't found that yet either. I did get in my McCain's Field Guide to Pattern Glass today so at least I'm on my way to helping myself. Still have six books on the way in.

« on: September 06, 2013, 09:11:38 pm »

Think I have everything now on the bowl, here's a reply I got from the National Imperial Glass Museum:

"Daisy and Button. Not to be confused with a popular pattern of the same name, made by many makers. Is this the mark you mentioned? If so then that would be when Arthor Lorch took over the company and operated it from 1981- 82. Before then Lenox owned the company from 1971- 81 and the mark would be the same minus the A"

So I made a note of that so we won't forget. Looks like it's all solved and when my books come in maybe I'll be a bit smarter.

Yes, that's it. You can barely see the line that goes through the 'G' but it's there and the 'V' and dot at the top are there but really faint. I've gone one step further now and posted the bowl at the Imperial Glass Museum's Facebook page and asked for the pattern name.
