All you glass people !! Do you know the pattern of this table set ??

[Rauville]

Cogar;
That's a different form than I've seen before; the handles make it quite unusual. The style and form reminds me of some of the glass Victorian epergnes. I wonder who produced those?

I haven't looked through the inventory of the dealer below...

(Side note: Have you ever watched the movie "Heart of Glass"?)

Rauville, ….. “No”, I have never seen it.

Let's hope that your gorgeous piece gets identified one day soon Cogar!

KC, …….. “HA”, …. I hope so too because I DON’T have another “30 years” to be looking for a “name”. Maybe not even another 10 years.

It began about 30 years ago and took me about ten (10) years of noninfrequent “begging” and ”pleading” before the lady who owned the bowl, who lived here in Burnsville, WV, sold it to me. The only thing she knew about the bowl is that it was given to her by a little old lady many years ago.

Now given the fact that the bowl was previously owned by 2 central WV residents, ……. and the fact that there were quite a few “glass factories” located here in central WV during the past 150+ years, the bowl could have been produced at/in one of them.

But then it could have been brought here by immigrants from Europe, many, many years ago.

My first thought was "Fenton on Steroids"...look at those appendages ha!  How long are those projections anyway?


 
And, I agree with Rauville that the handles make it very unusual. 

I tried to get a better look at the pattern from your picture by enlarging.  And, was wondering if you thought there were either four leaf clovers or maybe butterflies in the pattern? 


Oh, and by the way...it is an intriguing beautiful piece!

Sophie Marie, as far as I know, there is no "repeating" pattern in the exterior surface.

Here is another picture ...... with the bowl being held up in front of the patio door .... and "natural light" in the background.

Hi Cogar,

I wanted to let you know that there is a very interesting website called Fenton Fanatics (which has nothing at all to do with your bowl), but I know you and "the wife" like glass.  Anyway, it has a section on catalogs with all the pictures from 1950-2011.  So if you ever have some free time...maybe you'd like to take a peek:

Now about that bowl!  I think what you have is a Victorian Brides Bowl.  Bride's baskets or bride's bowls are usually one-of-a-kind novelties made in American and European glass factories. They were made in almost every color of art glass and most have silver-plated holders with handles. They were especially popular about 1880 when the decorated basket was often given as a wedding gift.

Here is an example of a brides bowl with petal edges:

And, another example of a Victorian version made in England with applied handles:

And, one more with the handles built into the stand:

There are quite a few listed on Ebay if you'd like to look...very pretty unique items:

And, I ended up spending too much time on Pinterest:

Now, we just have to figure out who made your item ha!  It looks like the English were good with applied handles

Thanks, ….. Sophie Marie, ….. appreciate your assistance.

And I agree with you about it being a “Bride’s Bowl” because that is what I have always figured it was.

Beautiful pieces of glass, those Bride's bowls and baskets are.

And I have always “guesstimated” it to be mid to late 1800’s simply because of the “air” bubbles in the bottom of the bowl, which one can see in that last photo I uploaded.
