shame about the threading, would have been an added bonus had it glowed. As you are probably aware, these fancy Cranberry pieces are very common, and unless an exact match can be found in the books, then you are probably on a hiding to nothing. Your threading is coarse, although that in itself is not uncommon - and having wandered through Manley and Gulliver, similar examples with thick threading are evident. Bowls with eight way vertical crimps are legion, although the wide rimmed dish seems less so. Nothing wrong with the colour either I don't think. From the little I know, pieces like this which generally date to about c1880, have on the base either a snapped pontil mark or a ground out and polished mark. Much less commonly you might see a raspberry prunt covering the scar, apparently. However, your piece has a star, which appears to be very unusual. Whether this might indicate continental or States origin, I haven't a clue, but seems very uncommon for standard Cranberry from the U.K. Anyone else care to comment on that point.
