    Hi Everyone,

    Have had this green depression bowl for awhile and am wondering if it is Crown Crystal of Australia. Have not been able to find one like it. Is my guess correct? Does anyone know the pattern name if it has one.

    Thanks for your help.

    All I can say is I do not think it is American.

    Wonder if @Shangas knows anything about glass? There was someone else who just joined from Australia.
    Maybe go back and edit your title to add From Australia. Someone from there may know.

    @Miscstuff
    The first link shows glass from some American companies. Particularly Anchor Hocking.

    The second one is for cut glass. The green item kaudet shows is pressed.

    Was Crown a manufacturing company?
    Did Australia have glass manufacturing plants?

    yep!
    Cited from https://collection.maas.museum/object/168513

    Australian Crystal Glass Limited was established in 1915 in Wyndham Street, Alexandria, NSW, making pressed and hand blown glass. By 1917 hand blowing had ceased and only pressed continued. From 1922 to April 1926 the company became 'Crystal Glass Ltd' and then in 1926 they amalgamated with Australian Glass Manufacturer's - Crown Glass Works and became known as The Crown Crystal Glass Works Co. Ltd (ref. M. Graham, Australian Glass of the 19th and early 20th Century, p.88). By 1932 The Crown Crystal Glass Co Ltd, was based at Waterloo, and their Trademark resembled that of a 'map of Australia'.

    I'm no expert on the stuff but there were others

    In the link that Miscstuff sent there is another link to 132 photos of Australian glass. Thanks for sending . Have bookmarked it. A few of the pieces look very American. Strange.

    Those are probably the ones I saw that were Anchor Hocking.
