Glass plate
« on: March 26, 2014, 11:43:17 am »
Hi all,

Can someone help me to determine this plate? Unfortunately it has no mark, but it is very fine work I find.
The lines are no damage by the way...
Thanks in advance!

Is it a plate or a window pane?
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

no clue on your plate but wherever you are that has blue skys and sunshine--that's worth a million --  quit hogging it and spread it here in the midwest.

Is it opaque or clear ?? It may be Imperials caramel slag glass,,looks more like an underplate rather than one that you would eat from !!  What size is it ??

Hey Mart,

It's an ornamental piece and as you thought not for dinner.
The size is 35 cm x 20 cm.
It is absolutally not caramel slag glass, it's opaque worked glass.

Most slag is opaque,, few were done in transparent !!  By "worked" you mean a decorative piece ??  Like an inset piece or decorative insert for something ?? Where are you located ??  The brown slag was done in the UK but not much here in the U.S. !! What kind of glass do you think it is since you can see it better than we can ??> Describe as best you can !! Pics do not show much detail !!

Me thinks it is "pressed" glass that was made via a mold.

And like KC inferred, a decorative piece for maybe a door or window.

Tableware plates do not have the "pattern" on the top surface.

It is a decorative piece what can have a function as underground for, by example, a thee set. The glass is as normal glass, the colors variate from dark yellow till dark red/brune. Slag glass is thicker as I see on the internet. This is more real glass. The descripe worked means carved for decorations. I don’t know the origin, maybe it is England. I’m from the Dutch, but don’t think it’s Dutch.
Today I will make a better pricture what shows the glass type (hope).

Hi Cogar, It is not for a window, this is for a table (a decorative tray). The picture is taken near de window for the effects. There is a border!

Liopleurodon, all I am saying is, ...... your glass looks like this glass, to wit:

These are oval, .... have designs, ..... have rims, ....but were not made for use as plates on a table.

Yeah I know what you mean. I have a lot of that “stained glass” as we say here and it is not similar as your photos (the function and the glass type). Why can’t tableplates have patterns, as you say before?

No problem if the "raised, convex, concave, etc." pattern is on the back or underneath side of a plate.

Food residue that "clings" to such a pattern becomes a major chore to "wash" off.

By looking at the circular area in the center,,it may be an underplate for a fruit bowl or table centerpiece !! These were very popular early 1900`s !!
