Some ABP for Kristi and Karen

(1/3) > >>

Leni:
I'm so pleased to see some interest in ABP as I have a few pieces I tried to get identified a while back, but we didn't get any result then.  So I'd like to share mine with you and see if anyone recognises the patterns and maybe can even give me an idea of a maker?  (None of mine are marked  :( )

Two are small 'nappy' bowls - I think that's what they're called in the US? - measuring 6 and 7 inches, and one is a bigger bowl measuring 8 inches across and 4 inches deep. 
They are shown in my Cut Glass Gallery here

I'd love to know anything you can tell me about them!

Leni, would it be possible for you to post some photos of the bowl "3/17" against a dark surface, window light only, flash off the camera? 

Between you and Roy there's lots of beautiful cut glass posted on this board.  I want to print out pictures and sit down with the references I have to see what I can find. 

Have you checked your glass for signature marks?

I'll say!  Sensory overload!  It's excellent to see it all, I never would have guessed so much of it would appear here.  Makes my little brain all confusticated when I try to look for IDs - but then, it doesn't take much when it comes to rich cut glass.  Karen's the wiz at that.  I tried my hand for a bit last night, made my head spin.

The design on your first piece is quite pretty.  Is the crosshatching polished?

The second piece looks like "Hob Star" by Gundy-Clapperton, shown pp. 268, 269 and 155 in Swan's American Cut and Engraved Glass.  The main motif is known generically as Harvard, but yours has the same layout and border as the Hob Star shown in the book.  See also the Canadian Jug Roy has.  Gundy-Clapperton was started by Harry Clapperton after he left Gowan, Kent.

Leni, be sure to look at Roy's thread here if you haven't already

Sid just added some interesting information about the company I think made your second bowl (we'll see what Karen says...maybe others did the same thing, and not just similar things).  And I have a request for you.
