opal footed creamer - pattern? Hilfe!!

<< < (2/4) > >>

Ivo:
After checking Jenks, Luna & Reilly's "Identifying Pattern Glass Reproductions" I  can now be fairly sure this is not Stars & Stripes.

The specialist in France I consulted thinks the item looks American - nothing like this was produced in France.
The Danish book has nothing similar.

And so the plot thickens.
I'll keep you informed.

I have looked through all 8 volumes of Kamm series of glass pitcher books which likely represents over 1,000 creamers and pitchers most in the 1860 to the early 1900s period.  There were three that had a shape similar to your example, one of which was English according to her.  The only pattern similar was the Stars & Stripes creamer which is a completely different shape.

There are some 1970 era American creamers with a similar shape - some of them with carnival treatments that I think are products of either Indiana or maybe Imperial but your creamer looks older than that.

The fact that you got six all at once in Europe would lead me to a continental source.  I can see that one might get there from the US without the matching sugar but six seems a stretch.  I think the Presglas Korrespondenz is the route to go but will be a daunting task.

Thank you Sid that is very useful information. It had occurred to me that 6 copies of such an item is highly unlikely, but the location I got it from has yielded strange surprises before - including 18th ct. English glasses.

I'll follow your advice, make new photographs and get them to Geiselberger - maybe one of the PK readers will get an AHA-Erlebnis.... :P

Sid -

In Kamm's do they have pictures of both Jenkins Glass  and Kokomo Glass Stars & Stripes creamers?

I found reference in McCain's that both company's made the same pattern.  I think the creamer shown in all the books is Jenkins.

I wonder what was the shape of the Kokomo creamer?  Was it the same?

Connie:

The Kokomo Glass MFG. Co. was founded in 1900 and began production in 1901.  The management team included David.C Jenkins, Sr., and his son David C. Jenkin, Jr..  In 1905, the elder Jenkins retired due to poor health.  The company was re-organized as D.C. Jenkins Glass Co. in 1906. Different company names, same factory, likely same product.
