Author Topic: Pressed Glass Bowl like EAPG, but is it? (Read 2326 times)

I have had this little bowl for quite some time and have not been able to positively identify it. It is similar to several EAPG patterns but I have not found an exact match. After seeing examples of pressed glass from other countries on this board, I have been thinking maybe this is not American??

My Pressed Glass Bowl

Any ideas would be greatly apppreciated.

Ummm, EAPG patterns make me go crosseyed (as I said in another thread), but could it be "minnesota"? (US glass co 15055, 1898 (Field guide to pattern glass, McCain, 2000, p.201). I'm probably way off the mark!

I thought I looked at all the State patterns because it looks like it should be one :lol: But I could have missed it. I'll check McCains when I get home.

BTW - EAPG makes me cross-eyed also :wink:

Connie -
I'm probably wrong then, but have another look anyway.

I think there's an EAPG group on Yahoo. We get a bit of EAPG in Aus, but it's usually just a few standard patterns and items, and I suspect some of the moulds made their way here after the EAPG years.

Cathy -

I checked The Collector's Encyclopedia of Pattern Glass by McCain. It doesn't look like Minnesota to me.

Here is a Minnesota Biscuit Jar The sunburst is different. The motif on my piece has many more points.

Hello:

That is a typical Millersburg shape but I don't recognize the pattern. Could be Marilyn. I'll bet that this is found in carnival glass but somebody more familar with glass of this era will need to help us here.

Hi Sid, Connie

Here's one of the yahoo groups. The other one seems to only have messages every few months.

I don't think it's Millersburg's "Marilyn". The hobstar is present, but the rest of the motifs are not the same.

I did think it had a Millersburg look to the pattern, though. The feather motif esepcially - however, it isn't one that I know.

I also wondered about Cambridge, but I don't have a reference "to hand" to check.

I am sure that the motif in the bottom is a clue. The problem is that most reference books do not show you a view of the bottom. I do not recall ever having another piece with that shape rayed bottom.

Glen - I will check my Cambridge- Early Years book.

Glen - You might have something on the Cambridge angle. I haven't found the pattern yet but I did find several Cambridgr pieces pictured in "The Cambridge Glass Co. 1930-34" book with a very similar rayed motif in the bottom.

The hunt continues ........
