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.

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.

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.

Its interesting, but I don't know what it is.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

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.'

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.

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.

No problems that I know of, maybe he doesn't use PayPal, but I know he has used it in the past. Curious.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
