I have a Dugan Cherries dish with a collar-base (?) and the Jeweled Heart reverse, but I am a little confused (not surprising, I know).
Is this classed a sauce? 6" in diameter. What is a sauce actually? Are 8 ruffles unusual?
This dish also has two splits on the edge of the glass, which obviously occured during production. Is this common? I have never seen it before.
I think that is everything. :angel:
TIA

Hi Della, looking in David Doty's glossary (http://www.ddoty.com/glossary.html), he says:
Sauce A rather general term that refers to small bowls, usually 5 to 6 inches in diameter.
So it would certainly seem so.
I must admit I usually just call them 6 in diameter small bowls...! ;D
-
No, it is definitely not a sauce bowl.
"The Art of Carnival Glass" page 100 - quote: "Sauce - a small bowl that is not ruffled (or the sauce would simply flow out)."
A sauce does not have ruffles.
Your bowl, Della, is a small ruffled bowl. You could certainly call it a small berry bowl, as it was most likely made as part of a full set comprising master berry bowl and 6 individual small "berries". The number of ruffles aka crimps can vary. The two splits sound like they may have occurred during cooling.
It's a pretty piece, Della, by the way :)

Thank you, Lynne. ;)
Thanks to you too, Glen ;D especially for the explanation. I had seen small ruffled bowls also referred to as sauces, hence my confusion. :-[
Another book on my wish list 8)

Della, I finally got hold of a copy of A Century of Carnival Glass through Amazon Marketplace - reasonable price. You would love it.
There are some bargains to be had there - my Hajdamach only cost me £8 including postage....

I did buy "A Century of Carnival Glass" last year, Lynne and you are right, I love it! The photo's are fabulous as is the information. I now need "The Art of Carnival Glass." I bought the first one as Glen said that it had more European Carnival in, which is mostly the stuff that seems to find me. ;D
I have quite a few books now, mostly about Scandinavian glass.
-
I would have got about ten pence out of that sale, Lynne :o Makes you think, doesn't it? Thanks for getting it anyhow :)
-
Ah but it was second hand Glen, so at least you would have got your royalties when it sold the first time...
Sorry....it is the only way I can afford so many expensive reference books.
