For Leni Opal Open in blue

(1/4) > >>

glasswizard:
As promised, took a little searching, but here is Leni's opalescent piece in a different color and different shape.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y283/Muscadale/Tbeadedpanelsoropenopal.jpg  I tried my best to show the opening in the stem. As Leni pointed out the repros do not have this opening. You can also see three of the four mould lines.
This was orignally done by Northwood. Then by Dugan/Diamond. The intertwining of Northwood and Dugan makes for interesting reading. Terry

What is it called?

I can't find it in my book or on the website http://www.ddoty.com/aboutcarnival.html - though I have many bits I cannot locate on this site - bahhh - so many little links

It is called "Beaded Panels" if it's Carnival Glass (when it was made by Dugan using the original Northwood mould).

It was called "Beaded" by L. G. Wright when they repro'd it.

It was called #562 by Northwood when they originally made it.

It is also known as "Opal Open" and Heacock even gave it another name - "Lorna".

Leni:
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this thread!  :D  

I love the blue, Terry, (but I still like the green best I think) and the shape of the blue bowl in your picture is very nice, too.  When I posted the question about mine, I wasn't sure what to call the shape of it.  Does anyone know what the different shapes were called?   :?

glasswizard:
Hi Leni,  What we call the different shapes can vary. Yours is probably what is called the novelty vase, it flairs out at the rim. If it folded in it would be the rose bowl. Mine is the novelty bowl. If mine were flatter it would have been the card receiver. I just found two more, one like yours in white opal and one in carnival again a novelty bowl but with more ruffles than the blue one and in the color called peach opalescent. Its fascinating because it appears there was only one mould and all the different shapes were created by hand. Hope this helps Terry
