Hi everybody.
I read in some articles that Westmoreland's Princess Feather pattern was (is) very copied.
i have this set of dishes, and i would like to know if someone can tell me if it is Westmoreland glass.

The plate number 8 is on the left in the next picture.
It has a yellow color.
Is it a vaseline glass?
did Westmoreland produced this kind of glass?

It is Princess Feather & Westmoreland reissued it in yellow called Golden Sunset in the mid 1960s. NDGA URL on Princess feather is below:

Só, if it is from the 60s, the plate is not a vaseline glass?

Test it with a blacklight & if it gives off a bright green glow then Uranium Dioxide/Oxide was used in the batch & thats possible because the U.S. ban on using these additives was lifted in November 1958. Best you visit this site that gives the definition:
