Title: I'm stumped, need help ID'ing maker
Post by: geo on April 03, 2012, 04:49:05 PM: Hay Guys, new to this forum. 1st I am a retailer and I've been contacting everyone I know and all are just as stumped as I am on the maker of a set of berry bowls I have acquired so I'm reaching out to those I don't, lol. EAPG has confirmed it is not American so Possibly French, English, Italian German or Bohemian? Early 20th or late 19th century. It's molded and pressed on both sides ribbed on the inside and a tiny diamond point on the outside finished in a ruffled and gold rim. Heavy & think for it's size although delicate in design so it might be flint. Ball feet are part of the mold. There are no seams nor does it look ceased. I don't know of any manufacturer that double pressed in this manor, Any thoughts?

I seem to be having problem uploading pic, sorry hope the description is enough

OK I just retook pic's, but in wrong folder, please disregard the jpg title. Thanks, can't list until I identify and determine a price.

I agree process is probably correct. But the question is Who used this process ??? around turn of the century -30's Don't think Japanese for that time period..
