Looking for a name to a type of Glass Vase
« on: January 21, 2012, 10:26:34 pm »
   I have this vase that I was wanting to know a name for this type of vase.  It is made of Glass, has a relief or rasied Rose art.   According to the tag on the bottom it was purchased in the early 1900's on Kansas city.  Basically I was hoping that before I post this, I could come up with a name to the type of vase.  And once again I come to the most wonderful knowledgable folks on the web  ;)

Goofus Glass

Yours looks like a rose, but here is pictured a Puffy Poppy one.

Good one cogar 
Goofus glass is a collectible, pressed and unfired painted glass made in the early 1900s through 1930 by American glass companies. It was produced in mass quantities for wholesale and marketing, and is the carnival glass made before iridescent glass more commonly known as carnival glass. Goofus glass was made by Indiana, Dugan or Northwood glass companies.

There are collectors out there ironlord1963.  So don't write it off yet.  Especially if the paint on it is in good shape (That is the real key because so many are in bad shape with worn paint).
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

  It has some paint loss for sure, but even worse is a small broken piece, and seeing what they sell for on Ebay, I might get 5.00 to 9.99 tops.
