Identify a opalescent chrysanthemum? bowl
huntiquelady:
I recently purchased a rippled edge clear glass bowl with opalescent edge and white stripes going down into the center. It looks like the chrysanthemum pattern. It is very fine piece and light in weight . At the widest point across the top it measures 10". Does someone know who made this beautiful piece. I do not think that it is Fenton.

Please post a picture; it sounds lovely and I'd love to see it! :shock:

Why not ask this question on the main board? It is likely to be seen by more people there, as not everyone looks here regularly.
It's a lovely bowl! (Just the sort of thing I collect :wink: ) And at 10" across it's quite big, too! :shock: Is it uranium glass? Does it glow green under UV (or have orangey 'fire' in sunlight, if you haven't got a 'black light' to test it with)?
It looks to me as if it is in perfect condition, with no chips or cracks anywhere, and therefore I would say it's worth a great deal, whoever the maker! :shock: :D
I agree with you - I don't think it's Fenton. I think it could be one of the British Midlands manufacturers, such as Richardson, Walsh or Webb.
What we need is someone with access to pattern books for those companies to check and see if there is anything like it in them.
I would advise you to move this question to the 'Glass' main board.

I agree that it is not Fenton.
There were many other American glassmakers that made an opalescent stripe pattern - Northwood, Jefferson, and Hobbs, Brockuneir & Co.
I also would not refer to the pattern as Chrysanthemum, since that pattern has a ribbed pattern to the glass in the opposite direction of the slightly swirled stripe causing to have an almost cross-hatched appearance.

:oops: Sorry, Connie! I always forget to mention the American makers of opalescent glass! :oops: :roll:
