    That looks a lot like Daisy & Button, so maybe Daisy & Button with Panels or something like that?

    I have no expertise here, just inherited a lot of Daisy & Button. :)

    A large percentage of your wares, the ones with Panels between the Daisy & Button, is Geo. Duncan and Sons' Elrose. Introduced in March 1885.
    I believe your third picture is "Big Button". You ought to be able to look that up.

    The square ones are Dalzell, Gilmore & Leighton's Klondike, OMN NO. 75 with Amberette decoration.

    Not having a clue myself, I'm certainly impressed. All you folks who can recognize patterns, when so many look so much alike to me that I can barely tell them apart, blow me away.

    Ditto, I have a really hard time with mostly clear glass items. They just don't click in my brain.
    I take my hat off (if I was wearing one) to all those here who know their stuff.

    Always wondered what my junk bowl was. Now I know it is a Dalzell,Gilmore & Leighton-Klondike pattern bowl made 120 years ago:):):)

    I'm going to take the opportunity to get some guidance myself on the right search terms to use. Years ago, in a charity shop, I bought a glass lidded bowl with feet & installed it on top of my dresser, where it holds mostly watches, some small keys. When I'd had it for a while, I stumbled into one like it, except different color, that sold on eBay for a ridiculous price. I was of course all excited, & since listing gave name of maker, I set off to see if I could find one like mine. I look from time to time, but never have. Have never seen another one sell for so much either.

    It is Portieux Vallerysthal's turtle (really a tortoise) with a snail on its back as a knob. They are easy to find, mostly in blue, mostly in milk glass. Mine is colorless & frosted. It's a mass produced item; doesn't make any sense that there aren't any others out there & at least one of them for sale. The terms I know to use are in this paragraph. Am I overlooking a descriptor when it comes to the color/finish?

    Maybe the same reason the other one you saw went for a ridiculous price was the color. All though a lot of items may be mass produced that doesn't necessarily it was in that particular color. Maybe that why yours is hard to find. I am not sure about this company but a lot of other glass companies used the left over glass to make smaller items instead of wasting it. I would do more research into the company and see what they specialize in.

    Okay I just looked and they only used frosted glass on a few specialty pieces, I think that's why you can't find turtles like your out there, Although I could be wrong.

    I supposed so, before I had done any looking. It was blue milk glass.
    I had found that in my poking around too, sometime in the past. Was surprised to see it listed as a butter dish since today they are listed as covered/lidded candy/bonbon dishes. The design has a venerable history. Thanks for finding it again, not sure I bookmarked it at the time.

    That's interesting. I know that when I look for colorless frosted I find surprisingly little stuff. Do you have a reference? Or is this a real live book, not the 'net? Does it explain in what sense 'specialty', as in only for certain stores or...?
