Topic: Help with a carnival compote...

Wonderful Glen,

I've ordered your book already so I will have it within 10 days or so. (would have bought it earlier if I'd known it included Holland!)

In the meantime could you gratify my curiosity and tell me if there is any indication of the date?

[Glen]

The specific catalogue that shows the pattern on your piece is undated, but the curator of the Stichting Nationaal Glasmuseum told us that it was thought to be early 1920s. The pattern is also shown in a 1900 catalogue too, so the moulds were in use for several decades.

An article in the British Pottery Gazette in 1931 reported that iridised glass was being made at Leerdam - so I would put the date of manufacture of your item mid 1920s to mid 1930s. That would tie in with other Carnival production in Europe.

Glen - Big  :hug: to you and your daughter.

Please tell your daughter not to ignore the whiplash.  After 3 months of increasing pain under my left shoulder blade, I was finally referred to a chiropracter.  I had immediate decrease in pain with 1 treatment and I am continuing to progress. It turns out I had a low whiplash with referred pain.

Great big  :hug: from us all here too, Glen.
Thinking of you all!

 :hug: from me too Glen, hope your daughter get's well soon.
