bit of a postscript to the 'unknown part set above  -  and picked up another almost complete set mid week (lacking I think a lid only to one of the twin pots).   Whilst the tray shape and the star outline are different - the pin tray is again present, and it is impressed with the same 'C' at the part set (sorry, it's not in a diamond  -  it's in a triangle) - so, think this should prove conclusively that both sets are States manufacture by Cambridge Glass Co. (1901 - 1957).      This most recent acquisition is slightly 'sun-purpled' - I'm seeing it everywhere now.   Question please........in the oval shaped pot there are two supports with cut outs to support what......anyone know.    The entire set is pressed - no grinding or cutting anywhere.
Hope of interest, and thanks for looking. :)

Paul

could it be a soap dish avoiding greasy dampening?

I would defer to your wisdom any day Pamela  -  but today is not the day  ;D  No, I would have thought not  -  these little crescent cut outs appear to be specifically for something 'pencil' shaped possibly  ::)   But I don't really know. :)

Paul, how unusual to find more of the same pattern when it's such a stranger to us.  The dish with the supports: like Pamela I thought of soap too but the indents have me puzzled. Are the cut outs both the same size? It's hard to tell from your picture.

If these are Cambridge I think one of our US members would know... let me tweak the title to catch their eyes.

thanks girls  -  I'm sure you're right.   And here's me thinking that real ladies never needed to shave :24:  Am I right in thinking that this particular accompaniment to the set is unusual, or was it a States thing only. :)

I think what you have are table pieces that someone used for the vanity. The scalloped bowl or nappy could hold butter or berries. In old catalogs trays were offered alone as "candy trays" and of course people could use them however they wanted. Vanity sets here were perfume bottles, and a dish sometimes on a matching tray.

thanks for your valuable reply Janice.   What intrigued me was the fact that twice within a matter of weeks I had found what had seemed two identical trinket sets (or at least parts of) both of which included one of these small scalloped bowls or nappys - so of course being a bit dim I had rushed to the conclusion that the complete set was designed to deliberately have one.   However, as you suggest, probably not intentionally designed as such, and just an optional add on.   I really know nothing of these things, but was also intrigued by the fact that one of these sets has something I had not previously seen i.e. the lidded container believed to be for the 'lady's razor'.  thanks again.   I couldnt purposfully collect these things - the footprint is way too big for me - which bit of a shame, as in my travels I see some really beautiful part sets and trays that are works of art.  thanks again.  :)

Does anyone know which Cambridge Glass Co. USA pattern the clear sets may be? I have been searching but can't seem to pin it down.
