Can anyone ID these fiery opal footed creamers? I managed to buy 6 of these - most curious to come across a set.

I've seen the colour before on Boston & Sandwich glass, but these are not listed in the B&S book. Timewise I'd say 1870s....

I looked in both Newbound's and Chiarenza's milk glass books and had no luck.

Then I thought it could be an EAPG pattern so I looked in McCain's, but I didn't see it there.

If you think it is American, I would still persue the EAPG angle, it looks like an EAPG pattern in milk glass - JMHO  :wink:

Ivo:
Thank you for the research - so it isn't just me who is having trubble with this one. I agree that it looks very much like EAPG in milk glass - and the finish would confirm that - though it could have been made in Denmark, Britain, France or Belgium and still look & feel like EAPG.

I have checked Edwards&Carwile, Barlow&Kaiser vol1; all Notleys, Hughes (because they might be custard glasses after all) and several other publications but nothing gives. Next step would be to dive into the pile of Pressglas Korrespondenz - but I would not know where to start. I think I depend on someone who recognises the pattern.

I looked through Metz and Edward's also for EAPG patterns.

I can't see all of the pattern because of the glare on your photo but one pattern that looks similar is Stars and Stripes said to be made by both Jenkins and Kokomo Glass.

Edwards has a picture of a large pictcher in his book by Jenkins.  McCain's has the pattern also but shows a different shape creamer. She doesn't specify if it is Jenkins or Kokomo.  I don't think they are the same company but I have to admit EAPG isn't my forte  :wink:

Ivo:
Found one S&S on e-bay but with a photograph even worse than mine (sorry, the camera is on a trip to Oz and I have to make do with the mobile phone!). Not sure it is the same pattern, but in any case I now have a name to start with and will work from there. Thank you Connie you're a star!
