My error, not George, Fran2

Tom, if it is Harrach Glass, the mark is really a feather plume mark, not a propeller.
That's it, I knew "Propeller" was wrong, but also knew it would get me to the right answer.
Thanks to all who replied.And Don, your cruet, I agree with George, its' had it's spout ground away, to conceal the whatever damage there was.

I gotta plead ingorance. We bought a piece of art glass yesterday, sort of a oxblood over white die-away, or glossy Burmese look, with applied and gilded flowers, stems and leaves. On the bottom was a sort of rose colored stamp I've heard called a propeller. I know I've heard it discussed and its not a propeller, but I can't remember what company applied it to their wares. Help, and thanks in advance.

Butter cookies....for years, we've bought two or three tins of Danish Butter Cookies from Staples at Christmas time. Last year, 2010, they didn't have any. Boo Hoo. This year, they had some so I bought three tins. Got home and found out they weren't Danish, but Chinese, and not butter cookies but margarine....bummer. They were tough, strong with butter flavor. I guess we'll stop buying them.
Glass related...we happen upon Kralik occasionally, too. We now have more than three, so I guess it's a collection.

CJ, unless it only holds 1 to 1-1/4 oz, it's probably a wine glass. Its interesting, but I don't know what it is.

the little beaded-looking frit
I think its just a matter of tooling. In this case the frit was picked up and the piece was crimped. In most cases the frit is picked up and the rim is tooled out or smoothed, in effect marvering the frit into the piece.

Thanks, Jim, I'll have to put that url on a Post-It on the 'cloud' of them on my wall. One Post-It instead of several.

Fran, re: the 'cut velvet' piece. I'd have a hard time buying it for 19th century glass. I've got a few that I think were done by Phoenix ca. 1885, and that doesn't have the same figure on the bottom.

The same Lancaster that made Jubilee depression pattern?
I'm not at all sure, There were several glass factories in Lancaster Ohio, a period of 20 or more years could mean several changes of management. Not my cuppa.

Mary, your little plate with the Iris, that's Jeffersons Iris. Hooda thunkit
Your larger plate is Lancaster's No. 974. The MAG has a catalog with it in, it's from 1910. This is not in other glass literature.
Your hobnail dish isn't Doyle's No. 150, it more resembles Elson's No 90, but I don't find the vertical ribs in Elson wares.
I can't help with your mayo spoon, it's 20th century, too late for me to recognize, (short term memory must be going.)

Marty, your decanter/cologne is Bellaire Goblet's No. 151, AKA Giant Bulls Eye. Bellaire Goblet was in Findlay Ohio when they made it. There is some speculation that when US Glass closed Bellaire Goblet that some molds may have been transferred to Model Flint.
Mable, Satin Glass is glass that has been acid etched. Your chimney has been painted, possibly with a 'flat' paint, taking away the shine, but not qualifying it as 'Satin.'

George, good on yah for posting the list of '---cut' marks. One slight change, Heisey did Trade Mark Plunger Cut, but no one has ever seen a piece with it in, it might have been used on stickers that washed off.

Thanks, Curt, you made some great choices. I'd like three of them myself.

Why two companies would have the same pattern?
Reen. In the 1920s, Boston & Sandwich glass became the HOT collectible. It had been out of business about 35 years and all antique dealers were claiming that almost everything they had in stock was ’Sandwich.’ A pattern which was popular with collectors then was Princess Feather. It didn’t matter that it was made by Bakewell, Pears, it was called Sandwich and people accepted that. Several companies made (New) similar patterns and put them on the market to capitalize on the popularity of the pattern. Indiana, Duncan Miler and others made them. (My area of knowledge ends about 1905, so I’m not sure who made all of them, but) they were like enough that they could be mixed and look all alike.{Edit] Colony, (lancaster Colony) was a division of Indiana.

Alternate mailing address......A friend of mine in Ontario has some of his purchases on eBay shipped to me in Ohio because sellers won't ship to him in Canada. No problems that I know of, maybe he doesn't use PayPal, but I know he has used it in the past. Curious.

Reen, All About Glass, a couple of years ago had a question from a reader relative to a small stemmed compote with green swirls in the bowl. The shape was different from your bowl, but the green stripes were quite similar. We all were stumped until someone found one in Target. No name/manufacturer/country of origin, but they certainly are new.

Reen, your butter is as George said, a U. S. Glass Co. product, it's No 15102, OMN Windsor. ca. 1907.

Bill, I'm afraid that your green vase is a recent import. Similar pieces have turned up in an amber overlay with an opalescent 'cameo' stem. Probably from mainland Italy.

Leah and Bill, and others interested.
What Revi didn't tell us about glass formulas, it was common practice to leave out one ingredient, the cullet, which would equal the weight of the batch components. In this case the cullet would have been the dead white glass they made for everything. this would mean that the 2# of uranium oxide would be .5% of the batch. Double it and it still would only be 1%. Not much weight change.

Well, that answers the question "What does the delete button do"!!!
Bob, I can't answer your question, I never could afford Plantation to have that collection.
Lids and bases, when they are made are made with "fitters". After the piece comes from the mold it must be made to fit the "fitter." It's possible they were all meant to be the same, or all meant to be different. If three of the four are the same, I'd wager the fourth is just a shade off. Quality Control asleep at the switch again.
Nice set.

Carl, your vase (don't shoot the messenger) looks to be less opaque than Mt Washington's Burmese. I notice that its frosted inside and out, making it look denser. The frosted pieces of Mt. Washington Burmese I have to study appear almost as dense as porcelain.

Geo Duncan & Sons' No. 400 AKA Three Face, was made originally in 1878. If you know they are older than the 2nd World War, they are original. Wright was having them made shortly after the war. There's no sure fire way to distinguish between old and new, with out hands on. Some say the new faces lack character. If you can tell, the original acid finish was done by fuming, the recent by immersion, leaving a coarser finish. But in both cases you probably need both examples to tell.
-
Tony, your blue piece was made by Belmont, nice piece. Yes, everybody's right, it was made in the mid 1880s, they called it No. 100, it's known today as Belmon'ts No. 100. I think it's a compote, the sugar is smaller diameter, the butter has a nearly plain lid. Yes, the generic pattern is called Daisy & Button. When manufactured it was called Hobnail. Somebody somewhere got them confused. Wish they hadn't.

Shani, check out Westmoreland on your open salts. No guarantees, just a guess.

Unfortunately I'm not up to date on the later 20th century reproductions, especially by Kemple and Smith. Semi-opaque blue is not included in the list of original colors in Autenreith's book on Co-op.

Ginny, your blue berry bowl is Co-operative Flint's Forest line, AKA Ivy in Snow. Its' early 20th century. Your blue dresser tray is probably from Dithridge,who made lots of that type of ware. No patterns involved, just single pieces. The number in the bottom is their mold number, has no meaning now.

Ginny Rose, the cavity in which your toothpicks nestle shows that it is an original. Yes, Belmont made it in the ABC (amber, blue, canary) colors. The reproductions, also made in colors, has a much more limited opening for toothpicks.

We went to an auction preview today, saw a 6-7 inch plate, ground pontil, pale green opaque rim and 'spokes' signed on the outer edge of the underside, (vibrator signature) LCT Favrile.
Isn't all Favrile iridized? Comments?

Yes, Bob, I'd include Onyx in the title. Many folks consider Floradine to be a subset of Onyx, but it was introduced separately.

Bob, your berry dish is indeed Floradine. There is so little of it around because their production was so erratic. It varies from true Ruby to the pink you have. The smear in the bottom is interesting, adds little, detracts little. Chips on the rim are almost normal. Most serious buyers won't balk at a 1/4 inch rim chip. I've seen well cracked pieces of other colored wares (same design, different color) sell for over $800.00. That was a syrup, and it was butterscotch.

I was told a week ago that the Fenton moulds could be purchased for $1,400,000, and that figured out at $100 per mould. I'm pretty sure that if you wanted a particular one, it would be considerably more, though.
-
Katie, I believe your friends white 'occasional' dish is McKee's Fentec, but possibly made by Smith or Kemple. The patterns are confusing, they used the same elements in various combinations, but this seems to have the same combinations as Fentec
