Topic: Is this Dewdrop? - ID = Hazel Atlas Teardrop

I can't find an exact match on this, but it looks alot like Dewdrop. It measures 6 1/4" across the top and has 4 legs that are diamond shape.

I don't think it's Dewdrop by Hobbs Brockunier. Perhaps some other hobnail maunfacturer?

Hi Doris,

Where did you find this piece? It's very similar to a bowl found in a 1940s Crown Crystal catalogue: #1503 Sweet Bowl. If it had come from Australia, that's what I'd assume it was.

Cheers,
Cathy

I found it at a church thrift shop.  They were just selling pieces that were donated to them.  Does it have any value?

[Cathy B]

As you found it in the US, it's unlikely to be the piece from the Australian catalogue, which suggests another company made the same pattern.

That the piece appears in the Crown Crystal catalogue doesn't mean that the ones that we find in Australia are definitely Australian in any case. They could have been made elsewhere and imported by Crown, then included in their catalogue; it could have been a copy of an overseas design; or it could have been made under licence. I'm afraid I don't know.

I can't help you with the value, I'm afraid.

Thanks for your help.  Maybe someone else will come along with an idea.

Hi Smokerstill,

Do you have a reference? Might be able to compare those in the Aus catalogue with those in the HA catalogue.

[smokerstill]
