Help with pressed glass pattern Please

Anyone know the pattern ? Thanks

 

Slightly resembles Peacock Feather but not really the same in the middle of the tear drop. EAPG peacock feather had what looked like a circular saw in the middle of the teardrop. Hard to see is yours more like a snowflake...star?

 

Calling @TallCakes, Does this count as a cake stand?

 

Here is more photos hope this helps. Not sure if it would be called a star or not?

 

Okay definitely more like snowflakes I turned it upside down an took a picture of the inside of base.

 

check Fostoria #1121 Louise c1901-4

sometimes motifs descriptions are a bit subjective; these are stars/rosettes. teardrops/pointed ovals, plus others

 

Yes cake stand....do I see a mark on the base?

 

By golly you've got it!

 

Thank you so much.

 

Thank you so much it has been driving me crazy

 

One more question why am I able to not find this color ?? TIA

 

Color... it is not clear...photos are so bad with glass...Does it have a blue tinge/ Place it on top of white paper so we can see. Could be a repro....

This is a verified Clear Louise Fostoria #1121

 

Yours has teeth on the scalloped edges....this one does not....They did reproduce these a lot.

 

@TallCakes has tremendous expertise in cake stands and is always willing to help. When calling on her, though, it is really important to me to limit my requests to cake stands. Since I know less than nothing about cake stands, I wasn't sure this shorter piece's purpose was cakes and not something else.

 

When glass is made, there are chemicals put in it to mask the color of other chemicals. One of these chemicals is a compound containing Manganese. The manganese compound, under bombardment of light slowly changes valence and produces a light lavender color, commonly known as sun-purpling.

Thats' what this piece has. Some people (myself included) consider it damage, others collect it fervently as a rare color. more fools them. It can and is done intentionally to feed their wants.

 

in my book it's called a 11" salver, low foot. And there are teeth on the scallops. 1902-1907.

 

Excellent information.
