Topic: need help identifying this small glass dish

[vintageglassfan79]

I picked this up earlier today. Having a hard time finding any information online about it. Not sure if it's worth keeping or not.  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hello and welcome to the board. The short answer is, if you like it keep it.    It's not a pattern I recognise but if it is from your side of the pond rather than of European origin then that's no surprise as it's not my area of research.  However, we have immensely knowledgeable people who may well recognise it and be able to help, so let's see what turns up.

Hi Anne, thank you for the warm welcome.  I look forward to hearing more feedback.  I can attach more pictures if i need to as well.

here is another view of it.

That helps, as I didn't realise from the first pic that it was a coloured not clear glass.   Have you tested it under a UV / blacklight to see if it has a uranium glow?

[vintageglassfan79]

I actually just ordered a mini blacklight yesterday.  Should be in the mail tomorrow.  I'll test it out and let eveyone know the results.  thank you!

having looked at this plate in the first picture, my opinion is that this piece is clear glass and not coloured  -  am inclined to think the op's photograph in the second picture has in some way distorted the light to create a yellow bias.      Possibly the camera compensating for the background.

Just to clarify, the glass item does have a yellow hue to it depending on what angle you look at it.  It does have yellow.  It's not false color from bad white balance or color cast from other light sources.

thanks for the clarification   -  it was just that the first picture gives a very bog standard clear glass image.             Is it soda glass that produces often some hint of a pale straw coloured effect?  -  not sure.

Not sure about the soda glass idea.  I'll have to do some diggin around on that.  Anyone else have some possible ideas?
