Carnival Butter Dish? - ID = Walther Oliven

Della:
Does anyone know where this stems from?   Glen?




And, is it a butter dish?

Thanks.  :lol:

Glen:
Interesting! My first thought was Brockwitz "Oliven"...but then I studied your photos a little more and now I am not so sure, as there are some differences.

I would say that yes, it is a covered butter dish. I'll think this through some more - no time right now (apologies....have to be somewhere else right now  :roll: )

Glen

Lustrousstone:
Looks like a butter dish to me, although I suspect that in the UK they were used for jam/preserves as well as I had a large 6-place setting of Jeannette Doric and Pansy in teal with two butter dishes

Glen:
Ah, still thinking, on the hoof....should be out of the door but I can't go while this is on my mind.

Tentatively attributed to Riihimaki  "Cut Ovals"...back in a mo!

Glen

Back again. Well, here's the bottom line for now. The pattern has been called "Cut Ovals" and in print (Edwards and Carwile.......!) it has been tentatively attributed to Riihimaki.

I cannot confirm that attribution, as it is not in the catalogs that I have searched. Seems it has been found in amber, which would probably rule out Brockwitz. I need to delve further to see if I can find out anything more. Hopefully someone else may be able to pin it down.

Della, is yours definitely marigold (clear base glass) or is it amber (light brownish base glass)?

One thing I would say safely - it's a European butter dish.

Glen

Della:
Hi Glen,

Only the knob is clear, as in clear. It is marigold, the glass is not brownish. The dish and lid look lemon/peach/light amber, almost like a mirror, even in the dullest of conditions.

I have, again, surfed the net to look for something similar, before posting it here, but again, I couldn't find anything close.

Here you can compare the Inwald compote colour to the colour of this butter dish;




Christine,

I also thought, maybe jam dish as it isn't the usual oblong shape. That'a why I put the ?
