    Hi All,
    I think maybe part of a vanity/dresser set, for holding bottles? Or maybe for salt and pepper? It is 4 3/4"L x 2 1/4"W x 2 1/4"H, glows under a blacklight. So far I haven't found the pattern, kind of a tree bark finish.
    Any information appreciated
    thanks for looking:)

    this smaller form and color seem to be a harder to find. You'll find several of the #8127 larger boxes. And they are most often listed as Tiffin (but that's another story); the company was still U.S. Glass when these may have produced in their Tiffin plant where much of the USG production was labeled Tiffin.

    found one of the larger ones at WP with it's USG label still attached:
    https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/tiffin-s-glass-rose-pink-satin-glass-1817243285

    Maybe adding U.S. Glass / Tiffin #8130 Bulb Box Planter to this thread might eventually get this to show up in google searches as well.....
    the catalog description helps differentiate this one from the more often found size and décor by listing as: Oval Bulb Box with stippled panels. Whereas the mitered corners boxes are often described by the motif on the paneled sides using: nudes, girls, ladies, women, dancing, nymphs

    this size would work nicely with paper whites....

    EDIT: please submit images to chataboutdg to include in their gallery...

    great idea to include the info so it will show up in searches:)
    I was only able to find the large size, maybe there are more out there but described as something else, I know I would never have figured out this was for forcing bulbs.
    @TallCakes I went to the chataboutdg site and couldn't see anywhere to contact them to submit photos? Not sure if you have to be a member?
