Topic: Blue pressed/moulded glass sugar bowl?

[vanmann]

This is another recent purchase that I made because I knew nothing about it and wanted to do some research. It stands 4 1/2 inches tall on a pedestal base and is 4 1/2 inches across. The underside of the base is decorated with a circle of stars which don't show up very well in photos. My research suggests to me that it is possibly early 20th century, English possibly Sowerby or Davidson. I would be very grateful for the thoughts of any members. Thanks John

I don't think it's Sowerby or Davidson on the basis of the design and the colour. I haven't seen the design before, though the shape is very common. I really don't know where I would look, but the colour might suggest late 19th century

Thanks for your help

Am I still right to be concentrating on English maker?

I really don't know where I would look

  Maybe along the lines of Indiana Glass, but that is a   Just reminds me of that TYPE

Good thought, Rose. I'm thinking I've seen an Indiana punch bowl set in this colour glass. Definitely an avenue to pursue. It's not a colour that would me think of British pressed glass.

Thanks for all your suggestions , I have now trawled through countless catalogues etc for English, German and Indiana glass and got nowhere. The nearest colour I found was Indiana's Teal Blue, but could not trace pattern.
This was a new field for me and I am starting to think that there are just so many options and variables that this may be my last piece too!!!!!!!!!

Maybe this is called a Candy Dish (aka footed Compote) rather than a Sugar bowl -- since it is 4.5 inches tall   It just looks more like a Candy Dish, IMHO.  It is iridescent in color ?   Carnival Glass (poss) ??

Could you post a pic of the bottom where it has the circle of stars?  This is on the underside of the Bottom??  Try taking a pic in different light sources, and maybe try with/without flash.
