It's not cut but pressed, with a stain. I'm not much of an EAPG person, but this may well be Tarentum's Atlanta (http://www.replacements.com/webquote/TACTAARF.htm), first made in 1894. I don't know whether it has been reproduced.

Cheers,
Cathy

Post by: Sid on November 04, 2007, 02:59:07 PM: Hello:

Your pieces are definitely Atlanta by Tarentum Glass Co. of Tarentum, PA. Have a look at the 5th page of this link:

http://www.rubystainmuseum.com/pdfs/book7/patterns-a.pdf (http://www.rubystainmuseum.com/pdfs/book7/patterns-a.pdf)

As mentioned yesterday in another message, the Ruby Stain Museum is a very good site for EAPG in addition to ruby stained glass. They have Heacock's book 7 posted as a pdf document which is an excellent reference for EAPG patterns produced in the ruby stained period of the 1890s and early 1900s.

The design or pattern elements in EAPG can change slightly between the various shapes likely because of size or shape differences. An original advertisement for this pattern shows the covered sugar - the lid has only 3 rays, while the bowl has 5.

Not cut, pressed.

Sid, thanks for the confirmation! I searched on Tarentum as the stain matched my Ornate Star spooner. Is the colour and density of the stain more characteristic of Tarentum, or was that just coincidence?
