Hi nohalo,

It's not cut but pressed, with a stain. I'm not much of an EAPG person, but this may well be  Tarentum's Atlanta, first made in 1894. I don't know whether it has been reproduced.

Cheers,
Cathy

There are design differences.

Hello:

Your pieces are definitely Atlanta by Tarentum Glass Co. of Tarentum, PA.  Have a look at the 5th page of this link:

http://www.rubystainmuseum.com/pdfs/book7/patterns-a.pdf

As mentioned yesterday in another message, the Ruby Stain Museum is a very good site for EAPG in addition to ruby stained glass.  They have Heacock's book 7 posted as a pdf document which is an excellent reference for EAPG patterns produced in the ruby stained period of the 1890s and early 1900s.

The top on Replacements only has three cuts in the fan, opposed to 5 on yours, the ruby stain museum example and the other Replacement pieces. Perhaps the Replacements example is wrong. not a very good image though!

Frank:

The design or pattern elements in EAPG can change slightly between the various shapes likely because of size or shape differences.  An original advertisement for this pattern shows the covered sugar - the lid has only 3 rays, while the bowl has 5.
