I have Dean Six's book as well, and the catalog reproductions are difficult to see well. I looked at the vikingartglass site, but I no longer...
Interesting, the close ups do look like a textile was somehow adhered to a plate. Probably an artisan who did it for sale at an art fair or...
Hand painted and scratched in marks on molded ceramic items often indicate hobbyist pieces. Can you tell how the decor was done? It looks like...
I think the compote has perplexed for years. My first thought was Viking as well, but I IIRC it's been noted that Yesteryear line the knob in the...
