Title: oval little tray ID PLEASE
Post by: hugosanti on April 22, 2013, 07:33:57 PM

Hello, I am trying to identify this oval tray, it is 24 cms long and 12 cms max width.
Any idea? Thanks in advance!
Hugo

hello Hugo  -  unfortunately, I can't help - but it does occur to me to ask if this has a uranium content...     it looks a little yellowish perhaps.

Davidson or Sowerby, perhaps?

But knowing your location might help as well. Naturally, glass made in the UK more often than not stays in the UK, etc.

Hugo did say the other day that................"I live in Argentina"       I know he buys in Buenos Aires, but will have to wait for him to tell us whence this came.          Might it be Fenton perhaps?
But I agree that everyone should give their country of origin - it can sometimes help with attributions.

The pattern looks very similar to this Indiana glass piece >> Link (http://www.ioffer.com/i/amber-gold-lily-pods-indiana-glass-carnival-glass-set-4-70114971)

Thanks, I wasn't aware of a previous post (I don't read every single one).

It is Lily Pons (no d) and it looks like it might be a 1930s piece rather than a later reissue. It's probably uranium glass
