Topic: Glassware Bought at Auction- Need Help to ID (cut glass, Uranium/vaseline glass)

[rache1h]

Hello! New user on the forum. 

I recently bought a random box of glassware at an auction. While I was able to identify many of the pieces, some of them had be stumped. I'm going to post a few with the hopes that someone can tell me what I have! 

First, there are 12 little saucer/plates that I have no idea as to what they are. At first I thought they were ashtrays, but they don't have the telltale notches to rest cigarettes on, and they seem too shallow to be ashtrays. They are roughly 3 7/8 inches (9.5 cm) wide and 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) in height. They also have four raised lines in an x-pattern in the bottom of the inside. Here are a few pictures:



Next, there are three sherbet glasses that I believe are Uranium/vaseline glass because they glow under blacklight. Any idea as to who made them and when? All I know is that they are very pretty! 











There were also two vases (?) in the box, but they seem to short to even work as a bud vase. Are they toothpick holders? Something else entirely?




Finally, there was a bowl and relish tray that look as though they match. I think the bubble motif they have is just lovely. Does anyone know when these were made, and by whom?










Thank you so much for ANY information! I'm just a young whipper snapper who is starting to collect glassware bit by bit. I still have a lot to learn! 

Cheers!

 :hi: and welcome to GMB!

It is helpful if you ask for each item separately, answers may be confusing.
Are you in USA, please?

Your tray is Anchor Hocking, I believe dot pattern and your small bowl seems a good match.

The green sherbet looks US made to me as well, I'm sure others with more knowledge will be able to tell you more soon  :thup:

Welcome!

Your saucer things are probably butter dishes (for those little scrolls of butter served with your scones and jam), and I'm sorry to say your sherbet is unlikely to be uranium - that sort of diffuse and pale green glow comes from manganese used in the melt to reduce a greeniness in the glass caused by excessive iron.

There's a lot of help about posting pics and so on here;

We can see your pics fine, but these big images take up a lot of bandwidth. There's a facility for posting resized images here which show a thubmnail which can be clicked on to enlarge it.

Don't fret about any of this - you're new!
