    Hello Board Buddies! I may have fallen for a bit of artful salesmanship on this one but it was unique enough (and cheap enough) to be worth a buy. According to the tag this is a Rare Cambridge Turkey Dish. It measures 12 7/8" long, 4 3/4" at its widest and about 1 1/2" tall. It does sort of look like one of their swans if somebody squashed it and stretched it out. I've tried searching swans, herons, egrets, and of course turkeys but couldn't find this dish. The color reminds more of Viking's yellow than a Cambridge color. Google searches have produced nada so here I am at your mercy again. Save me! Save me! Thanks for whatever help you can provide.

    Sorry, I don't recognize it as Cambridge.

    Since you are thinking Viking, have you considered New Martinsville? Just another place to look, as I don't know. And I don't know if they made that yellow.

    Don, I don't know WHAT it is, but I really like it! (I've been collecting "elegant" yellow glass for years: Heisey, Cambridge & Fostoria, in particular.)

    I looked, page by page, through the only 4 glass reference books I own, and I didn't find it. (I sort of figured I wouldn't, but I tried, anyway.)

    Thanks, tho, for making me look at those books again - it had been a while, and I'd forgotten how much I love some of that stuff!

    Hi -C-! Thanks so much for looking. There are some days when I would love to do nothing more than curl up in my chair and go through some of my reference books. Sometimes when I'm watching TV I'll pull one off the shelf and start paging through. My mom has a collection of Heisey Empress in Sahara which we get to use on the holidays. Occasionally, I'll find a piece for her to add.

    I'm not sure the bottom is polished enough on my "turkey" to be one of the elegant manufacturers so I'm looking more mid-century now. And it's just so yellow as opposed to Sahara and other elegant glass. As cluttered suggested New Martinsville I asked for help on the Viking FB page. I should have thought of that sooner. But I haven't gotten any replies so I assume that's another dead end. Probably when I least expect it the answer will appear! Perhaps while I'm paging through a random reference book one evening.
