Help with ID of a glass dish

Discussion in 'Pottery, Glass, and Porcelain' started by vintagedownsouth, Mar 14, 2016.

  1. I got this Bernheimer Bros glass dish and cannot find anything about it. The only thing I found on BB is that it was a store in Baltimore that may have closed in the 1920s. That is it though.

    I am not good at ID'ing glass items. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    If Bernheimer Bros was a store, it is not unusual for a store to have commissioned items to give as promotional items to advertise themselves.

    The glass itself looks like EAPG which would put it between late 1800s and early 1900s.
    Besides finding that the store closed in 1920s, did you find when they opened?

    If you can add a picture of the nappy from the side so we can see the pattern better, someone might recognize it. Then again, it may be a pattern only made for the store.

    The short answer is that it was made by the Steimer Glass Co., in Buckhannon, WV about 1905. The pattern is commonly called "Sawtooth Honeycomb", but that is an applied name, Its original name was Radiant.

    per Heacock: Steimer named the pattern 'Diamond' when introduced c1906 (referenced in 'Glass & Pottery World' Jan. 1906); then c1912 Union Stopper made the pattern calling it 'Radiant'

    Yay!
    I knew one or both of you (@TallCakes @Cherryhill ) would be able to fill in all the details.

    I woke up last night in the wee hours and checked the board. Had a lucky Google search with Honeycomb.
     
  7. Such great info y'all! Thanks so much for helping me out. This forum never disappoints!

    I'm wanting to put this in my shop, but don't know what it would be worth. I can't find any comps. Any ideas? I have found some similar advertising pieces from that era that are anywhere from $20 and up. Thanks again!
