I've got these two pieces of Carnival Glass and have checked them out on David Doty's site. I think I've found one but not the other. Click on the picture below for a larger image, and there are more pictures at
http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v519/hog-man/Jun%2029/First is a bowl, nearly 7" diameter ~ I think it's Imperial's Heavy Grape, but would like confirmation.
On the website, it says that "Imperial's Heavy Grape pattern is distinguished by a quilted diamond effect around the edge and has a simple fluted back." Mine has the fluted back but not the quilting (I think ~ I'm not 100% sure what quilting is in relation to glass, but this dish is smooth apart from the leaves & grapes).
However, also mentioned (and pictured on a bowl which looks very like this one but in blue) is a "rare variant without the quilting" ~ see
http://www.ddoty.com/heavygrapeimp.html and I hoped that was what I have here!
Second is a jug or large creamer ~ the design is obviously some form of hobstar, but can't find the exact one. The nearest I can find for the jug is Imperial's Hobstar but that has a fan between the large 'stars' and mine has a smaller star! (see
http://www.ddoty.com/hobstar.html)
Many thanks in anticipation, John.
Note to Moderator ~ Sorry I don't have time to put these pictures on the Gallery at the moment, but I will do so as soon as possible, promise!
