Crystal Wedding
« on: November 18, 2010, 12:52:04 am »
    O.k. have been running into a few fun one and once again thought I would share the pain.   I have what I considered just a candy dish, while preparing this for Turbo lister.  I have learned a few things and have a few question.  Time is out and I need to get to bed, hard day at the mill tomorrow.  Well First turn out these are consider Wedding Bowls, ( boy this stuff is giving me more culture ) and read about what they mean.  But here is my situation.  These was first made by Adams in the 1880, later reproduced by Westmoreland  (Three sizes I read at one place) Then again in the 60's by Jeannette Glass.  Mine is 10 1/4" tall to the top of the Finale.  All the jeanette one I can find is 6 1/2" Tall, short ones.  The glass don't really seems or feel to be Adams or 1880's style.  So am I to conclude this is a Westmoreland?   I be back at to tomorrow but thought I would entain a bit, beside I am kind of happy to be a bit more cultured  :D

Nice glass but out of my league.  I always thought these were candy dishes.  At least that is how people in my family used them.  I think it was because they could hear the clink of the top if someone was in the candy.  ;D

Came across these this morning. The first two links show a clear and cranberry Westmoreland stated as 10" and 10 1/2".  So far all the other Westmoreland I've spotted were milk glass. The second is believed to be a Duncan & Miller.  Too early, need caffeine  :P

"This mold pattern was made by both Westmoreland and the Jeannette company during the 1950's in milkglass and were smaller. We believe this to be Duncan & Miller by the large size,  clear glass - and well polished edges."
