Hi Sue,
Yes, thankfully, being online opens a wealth of information - helps keep me sane (well, a little bit)!

Hi.  Hope someone can help here.  Bought this piece years ago from a charity shop in the north west of England and have always thought it was a piece from Ikea.  However on a recent 'rabbit hole' search on the web I came across some images of a Whitefriars shallow bowl no. 9588 that looked exactly like this one.  Can anyone confirm?  It measures 12.5 inches in diameter and is 2 inches deep and weighs almost 1700 gms.  Any help much appreciated.

Hi Jayne,

I'm not sure it helps by itself but do you remember where you saw the photo ?  If I could look at it, I can keep an eye open for the same sticker on other pieces of glass which might add more clues depending on where they're found?

I believe the 'Glory Star' Tray is shown in the Czech Stolzle 1930's Pressed Glass Catalogue:

Page 6 Pattern 18411

There is a stepped finial Trinket Pot in a different design to Mystery #145:

Page 5 Pattern 18497

There are a few other stepped finial pieces in the catalogue.

On Page 13 there is another Tray (looks to be same size and shape as the 'Glory Star' Tray) with the 'Palm Trees' design in the base, with Trinket Pots and Jam Pot, butter/honey etc. that match the JewelRay sets (was Mystery #47).

The 'Palm Trees' appear on a few other pieces in the catalogue, there is a thread discussing them here:

https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,8424.0.html

I've personally never seen the 'Palm Trees' Tray which leads me to believe it was perhaps soon replaced with the 'Glory Star' Tray and/or possibly the Full Starburst Tray.

Therefore I believe the Jewelray Set (was Mystery #047) #145 and #185 and the Full Starburst Set (which appears in #047) are all by Stolzle.

If we consider these Stolzle Catalogue pieces were 1930's and the Clayton Mayers Catalogue is 1950's there are many years where pieces could have been redesigned or pulled/changed for various reasons.

I hope that makes sense Anne and NevB?
