Topic: "Pearline" pedestal glass centrepiece bowl.

[Anne E.B.]

Can anyone identify the maker from the pattern please?  It does have an Rd.No. on the inside just above the base but it is so worn that I can't make it out.  It looks as though it has 6 digits but I could be wrong.  Each time I look at it, the numbers look different!  It could possibly be **715* or *37151.  I can't find a match in any of my pressed glass books or so far online and couldn't find something resembling a match on the Great Glass Registered Design Numbers website.  The bowl measures 9 inches diameter, 6.5 inches high and is quite heavy 1.67kg.
Thanks for looking.

  I can't help, but thank-you, Anne for posting such a gorgeous feast for the eyes.
It is a stunning piece. Lucky you!

It's a gorgeous colour and technique.  Is it uranium glass?

I thought it seemed similar to three bowls on a stand I sold to America, I thought they might be Fenton.  I'm pretty sure they were uranium glass though.  So I wonder could it be American maybe?

There is also this on the board:

Difficult to tell if there are any similarities with yours.

Thanks folks for the speedy replies
I'm afraid I did take some artistic licence when taking the picture, as the bowl looks stunning against a dark background where the blue-ish rim sings.  Not uranium - that was the first thing I checked for when I got it home as it looks like it should be.   I haven't done a search for the U.S. yet but will certainly check Fenton. 
Watch this space...

I think this image better captures what I mean by the blue-ish rim.

I would think if it has an Rd.No. it is English, perhaps early Davidson or Sowerby. Perhaps a fresh pair of eyes might decipher the number.

Not Pearline but Sowerby’s green opalescent which doesn’t have uranium in, my father has a couple of large boats in this range and small swans in the same colour from 1885, I’ll add some links to previous post. This salad bowl is pattern 1977 found in the 1895 catalogue page 32.. victorianpressedglass.com archives.
I didn’t know they used this colour quite late on. A great find. Regards Mike

There’s a green boat on this link.

Nice find. Here are some more pieces in the same colour.

I would suspect the rim appearing to be blue is an interaction of the green glass and the opaque bits of opalesence taking the yellow out of the green and leaving blue.

One of those things with how the glass and light work together (or don't, because some wavelengths are blocked).
