Topic: Trinket/powder dish = unknown American maker

Help please?  I got this amazing piece recently, can't find anything on it?  It was suggested on the tag it might be European?  I love this and would appreciate any suggestions/comments - thank you kindly!!

hi welcome to the GMB.                   sorry, haven't a clue as to your dish..........    asking the obvious probably, but since it looks to contain uranium, does it glow under a uv or black light source?
'European' gives a very broad sweep of potential sources  -  but would agree, yes, is very likely since a lot of Uranium glass was made in Europe c. 1850 - 1950.

Looks rather large for a trinket set piece  -  might be a stand alone item of course - hope someone here can help you.

Hi Paul, thank you!  Just on my way home with this, plan to check with black light first thing!  And mg husband reminded me the tag said European, Dutch? I had forgotten it questioned if it might be Dutch.....if this was part of a set, how stunning!  That would be something to see❤️💙💖

A bigger picture would be useful, as we can't see details but I'd be more likely to think it was a US candy bowl

This has already made the rounds in the U.S. & I suggested the OP try here since its not U.S. to anyone's knowledge.

might possibly help to know if there is any age related type of wear, or if it looks to be newish.

I think what would be most helpful is a new photo taken in daylight (no flash & no additional background lighting) as the existing photo is simply so bright that it washes out most of the detail.

Thank you everyone!  A very kind member of the IPBA found it in a book by Whitmyer, it is American, no manufacturer noted, was a stand alone piece rather than part of a set, and came in pink and green

Sorry the pic was not better, I had to resize it to be able to post it

Appreciate your help!

For accuracy...just because this appears in Whitmyers which is 25 years old in terms of publish does not document its American. It may be or it may not as it also was not recognized on a U.S. glass  board 0f 2,500 members. Whitmyers reference does not provide a country of origin or manufacturer only assigns a name invented by them...Lady Cameo. European vanity pieces can also be found in Whitmyers with no country of origin or manufacturer named.

Ken I have asked for the thread to be moved back to unidentified glass Otherwise it will remain in USA and people might not notice it.
