Title: Chippendale-like Sugar and Creamer
Post by: Mouser on May 23, 2007, 03:44:29 PM

Hello again, folks...

  One of the most elusive glass items I have is this creamer and open sugar set.  They are grayish in color glass with hand etched florals.  The glass has a muddy yellow glow to them when put under UV light.  Note the dog-eared portion of the handles are 'cut' at an angle, unlike the Chippendale patterns.

Also, note the hand cut star on the bottoms of the pieces, and the odd "extra" cut area on the bottom of the one in the corner.  The hand etching isn't perfect, and upon very close inspection you can see where the etcher cut extra lines here and there.  You need a magnifying glass to see it, though.

I don't have the measurements handy (I'm at the day job), but will post those later.  I was hoping the star on the bottom and the cut handles might lead to a dead give-away.  If anyone can help ID these with an approximate year range I'd be greatly appreciative.

Here are some pics:

Thanks to all who even take a peek.

Ok, folks, I have the measurements (only took me a few days, eh?).

The creamer is 3.5" high at the handle, by 5.75" wide at handle;  Or the bowl of the creamer is 3" high by 4" wide.
The sugar is 3.5" high at handle by 6.75" wide handle to handle;  Or 3" high by 3.25" wide at the bowl.

I hope this helps.
