Greetings! I'm a collector of glass and pottery flip-top bowls that were used most commonly for sugar or salt. I have a working knowledge of restaurant ware, but almost none of glass.
I'm getting ready to redesign my website (http://susan-phillips.com) and am hoping to identify some of my glass flips. Member itsagas recommended you all to me with the hope that you might be able to give me some help.
I asked the good people at ebay's pottery and glass board for help, and for this particular piece was told that it was likely made by McKee, Anchor Hocking or Jeannette.
It has no markings on either the bowl or lid and is extremely heavy, thick glass with beautiful convex panels. I also have ones exactly like it in both clear and Jadite. (These bowls with thinner glass and flat panels were very common.) Size is approximately 4 1/2" in diameter.
