Fifth 'Aisle' of PatternGlass.com's Virtual Pattern Glass Museum |
Here are some beauties we bet you've never seen,
courtesy of Harold & Gail Essmaker. Riverside's Cabbage Leaf pattern is very rare
in color in any form and especially in these: an amber water pitcher
which
is 9 1/2" high and 9 1/2" from handle to spout tip. The cov'd
cheese plate is 61/2" high and the bottem plate is 9". Wouldn't Uncle Remus have loved these! |
DIAMOND
SPEARHEAD rare emerald green Relish Tray. Approx 7" long by
Northwood Glass, pattern #22 ca. 1901. Dan Whatley, the premier
Diamond Spearhead collector, has NEVER seen this piece in this
color without opalescence (we believe that all other pieces were opalesced in this pattern). Possibly experimental, one-of-a-kind. On the Right is a vaseline opalescent plate in this spectacular pattern. |
DAISY & TREELIMB
amber Platter, 15" long & 10" wide by Atterbury,
ca. 1880s. Believed to be a rarer pattern. If anyone knows of more
pieces of this pattern available for a collector please EMAIL us. |
And
didn't we come up with the tray and its matching bowl! Now we need the bowl for the amber tray! Anyone? |
Sure 'nuff. John came up with a photo of an amber sauce dish in the pattern.... he sez he has 12 of them & had never known the pattern till now. |
You've seen these Daisy & Button glass shoes but have you seen the shoe with its original perfume bottle? The bottle on left still has label 'White Rose' around the neck. Uncle Al sez these little bottles are hard to find! |
This is a GARLAND OF ROSES or ROSE GARLAND clear small cov'd dish by an unknown mfg, ca. 1900. All pieces considered rare. The Banana Stand in this pattern is possibly a One-of-a-Kind and very rare in vaseline. |
This
TREE OF LIFE cranberry 8 1/2"d. Bowl was manufactured by Hobbs,
Brockunier
ca. 1879. Very Rare for a bowl this size and color. |
A
scarce amethyst goblet in OVAL MEDALLION aka ARGYLE pattern compliments of Bryce Bros. ca 1885. |
Here
are a celery vase and syrup in the unusual FISH & SEAWEED pattern.
Maker is unknown. Pieces are blown molded, inside |
This water set is a gorgeous
deep cobalt blue example of the elusive DUGAN'S FAN pattern. Reportedly
made in 7 colors, it is VERY rarely seen. Made by Dugan Glass Co. ca 1905 & signed w/ the "Diamond D" on all these pieces in this water set. |
Here
is a pair of Honest-To-Goodness Knock-Your-Socks-Off amethyst Boston & Sandwich
flint compotes. A MATCHING PAIR! I have not seen these in person
but they "sang" to me over the phone. An amber one is
pictured in Barlow & Kaiser's "A Guide to Sandwich Glass Pressed Tableware"; # 1153 PRESSED LOOP (LEAF) NAPPIE ON FOOT c. 1850-1870. Very worthy pieces for a Pattern Glass Museum! |
Above is a rare GRACE pickle castor in vaseline glass, by Richards & Hartley, circa 1881, photo courtesy of Dave Peterson. |
Duncan's exotic pattern Three Face was made c. 1878 in many different forms and one of the hardest to find is this stemmed saucer champagne. In our experience, it is more scarce even than the hollow stemmed champagne - which may be French made. |
This is a yummy set! It is a product of the Belmont Glass Company c. 1880s and is the well-known but seldom-seen Ice Cream set in their #100 pattern. The individual dishes are pie shaped and they fit into the clear tray which, when found alone would belie its exciting potential! Thanks to a friend for loaning these photos to us to share. |
