opal footed creamer - pattern? Hilfe!!

<< < (4/4)

Ivo:
no, no grinding and no wear - but the fiery glow of old opal glass...! Now if it is a deliberate falsification - what does it falsify?

pamela:
I do not know whom or what, Ivo, to me it is still Spain, sorry about that!

vintagerose:
Ivo,
The pattern looks very similar to Mardi Gras, #42, Duncan Glass Company, Washington PA late 1800's.

Vintagerose

Lustrousstone:
My first instinct is USA, it still is. Their 1930s glass didn't have ground bases and they made a lot of milk (and pink) glass and were keen on the complex patterns.

Ivo:
The latest suggestion received from Geiselberger is that it might be from Belgium - notably from the glass works at Ghlin, because the feet on their creamers is much the same.  I know it is not a lot to go by.

On much the same grounds Frank has suggested Spain (thank you!) - but I'm more inclined to believe Belgium.

The Mardi Gras from Duncan is another good suggestion, however it lacks the pearls on the vertical flutes and the edge is distinctly different.

Keep your eyes open.
Thanks for all the input.
Ivo
