Glass item bowl type thing, help please

I don't know a dern thing about glass, so any help is greatly appreciated.
Is this called cut glass? Maker? Pattern? Age?, and what is this shape called?
It stands about 6 1/2" high, bottom base is just under 6 1/2" diameter, and top is about 8 1/2". It is also quite heavy. I see 4 seams down the sides.Oh, and sorry about the quick, bad pics.

 

Could this actually be a base for a punch bowl?
You would have to turn it over though.

 

The pattern is called Horseshoe.

 

Yes - This is a punch bowl stand. The flared end sits on the table.

This pattern is a tricky one. I can't think of the real maker (maybe US Glass?) and name at the moment, but it is commonly called Slewed Horseshoe. I also see it called Radiant Daisy.

I'm not sure if that's a typical finish. There's also one currently listed for auction at about half that price.

The problem comes in that Indiana Glass reproduced the punch sets in the mid-1970s, calling it Pinwheel and Star. And from that I've seen messed up variations like "Slewed Pinwheel", etc... Oh, and there are a few listed as being made by L.E. Smith Glass. I don't know if they ever produced this pattern.

The reproductions are all mixed in with the originals in that search.

 

Well, goodness you all are awesome thank you so much Messi Don and bercrystal !! I'll look into all your great info now.
Thank you thank you

 

Dang. Either I type really slowly, or my answers need to be more concise. LOL

I forgot to mention that I don't think the punch bowl stands were reproduced.

 

Thank you ever so much unclechuck! That's great info, and I truly appreciate it.

 

yep, this is EAPG, originaly by USG as #15111 Slewed Horseshoe, c.1908. Has been reproduced and is still marketed as 'Pinwheel & Star' by L. E. Smith

 

Thank you so much tallcakes
Any idea if this one is a reproduction or original? How could I be able to tell?
Thanks everyone for all the great help and education.

 

I'm not sure that the punch stand was reproduced. All I've found are the punch bowl and cups with under-plate. Check for wear and black light test; most EAPG will have a dim glow best seen in dark room.

 

Thanks again tallcakes, very kind of you to help. I have a black light around here somewhere, I will try that.

 

I had a Carnival glass stand that my mother used as a vase for years after the bowl broke.

 

Yes, this type of stand is often seen listed as a vase. Not really sure if the reproduction punch bowls would fit the original EAPG stands.

 

I had my mother's collection of Carnival glass so I collected a few pieces myself for awhile. I never did find a bowl that fit the stand so I finally sold it.

 

I've seen the under plate for the slewed horseshoe. It's another one of those 20" diameter, 15lb monsters.

 

Did you look for a makers mark? I have a punchbowl and underplate with the same pattern which is a Heisey.

 

Hi and welcome
This thread is from October of 2014. But, no I'm sure I didn't see any markings. I still have this base stored away here somewhere.

 

If a punch bowl has a Diamond H on it it is not this pattern. Heisey did make a pinwheel punch bowl, but not this, This is absolutely U. S. Glass Co. No. 15111, ca 1908, this base has not been reproduced. When the bowl was reproduced, often the manufacturer would use the same mold, press a bowl, then spin it out flat to make an underplate.
