That appears to be a No. 331`Sugar Shaker by Hobbs Glass Co. introduced ind July 1889. I haven't seen it before in crystal opalescent. It is...
Just to clear the record, Imperial had molds from Central, Cambridge and Heisey, at least. This is (I believe) an original Imperial mold.
The glass pretty well had to be hot when the penny was added, probably just after it was broken from the punty rod.
Given its possible production period, 1905 to 1925, it may well be the only piece made with that design in the body. Thus, no pattern.
Glass pieces of similar form and decoration have been found in wholesaler's catalogs from Bohemia. The squarish edges of the foot are typical,...
I suspect it's a British cream to a "Breakfast Set." A creamer and a sugar basin.
You don't need a black light. That color was made with uranium! Under black light, or even good strong sunlight outdoors that will glow!
I can assure you it's not from Heisey.
The shape of the pitcher, bulbous plus the "square" top is too well copied to be representative of its manufacture, both here (in the USA) and in...
The term "Polka Dot" first appeared published in the English Language in 1883 (OED) in reference to a pattern if fabric. Yes, it was color...
Could they have been the underplate for a cheese dome?
I'm probably not the best to answer this, I'm biased. When the effect was begun, ca. 1884, it was called Polka Dot. Early researchers ca. 1925...
I still can't read it, but with a label like this it doesn't qualify as an antique. Too new.
Ola, it doesn't look like a Cobel shaker, because it's a Heisey Country Club, No. 6060 shaker. Everything is right about it.
I'm gonna go along with Bear, Bohemian, perhaps 1905? The paste decorations would have been gilded.
Heisey did make that stopper, I'm not sure if Imperial made that shaker or not. dont' have the books handy and memory is not what it was.
It ain't easy. I've spent almost 50 years studying glass, I figure I've got maybe 15% figured out. There is no easy way.
Sorry, I work from original sources, they don't have prices, let alone current prices.
Co-op's Adoria.
Heisey called it N. 1558, someone needing a name called it "Droop." I don't think it's universally accepted.
Separate names with a comma.
