[QUOTE="Savvy*Spyglass*Treasures, post: 225475, member: 205"]LOL, that's okay. I see an unpolished bottom and I think, "China" usually, too. The signature has thrown me, though. I'm sorry, I should have mentioned that part of the signature did look like "Ben" to me, too, and I have searched Google images for both "Ben" and "Benjamin" art glass and found nothing similar. There appears to be another letter in the signature before the "Ben", though. Can you see that in my terrible pictures? Believe me, the pictures are better than what I can see in person! LOL. Thank you for all the responses! I agree the ceiling globe is stunning. I'm thinking about keeping it but have no idea where I would use it and have it be seen and admired in my house. :-) I would really like to identify it in any case! I did look at the collar with a loupe for a signature and found nothing. [URL='http://www.thetwoarthurs.com/w-a-s-benson-powell-sons-vaseline-glass-light-shade/']This[/URL] is the shade I found that seemed the most similar to mine. However, obviously, it still is pretty different from mine. The compote didn't photograph as nice as it looks in person. I will have to try other backgrounds to see if I can get better pictures. (And, maybe clean it! LOL) Thanks again! Maybe someone else will come along who recognizes one or all three of these pieces. Juli[/QUOTE]
