Title: Pale pink glass plate with poppies design - pressed? Who?
Post by: Cláudio on November 06, 2013, 05:55:24 PM

Here is one of my unknownm plates.
It has 29,0 cm in diameter and 4,0 in height.
I think that the flowers are poppies, and they are in a diferente color compariing with the plate.
Seems to have been spent acid in them, the color became opaque.

Claudio I've asked the mods when they have time, to change the heading on your title to draw people's attention to your piece.  Is it pressed glass do you know? 
It helps if you put a description of the glass you are asking about in the heading or title of your thread :)

Cláudio, another very nice piece of your collection and my first impression was: easy to identify.... but unfortunately no luck so far in my search  ::)

I'd like to see a photo of underside of the base - how is it finished?

I really think it is not a pressed glass. It does not have that lines that we find in the pressed glass.
I will try to describe it better, but i don't know the exact terms in english, so, please, correct me...
The poppies are on the underside, they are "carved" on the glass.
And the flowers are in a opaque white, the same color when acid is used on glass.
I took some other pictures using a black background, hope they are better. The pictures are from the backside.

I wonder if these are Meconopsis - Himalayan blue poppies

don't know if those keywords may help with a search?

just thinking out loud

It's definitely pressed glass - you don't see seams on plates because they only need a base plate and a plunger

Lovely plate!  I can't help at all except to to throw in another option for searching: I think the flowers are parrot tulips.

Definitely not poppies, the pistils are different...
I have searched for photos, similar to the flower, in botany books. but without success. :'(

I agree with Santa, I also thought they might be Parrot tulips - the leaf doesn't look right for a poppy either - but perhaps they come with a variety of leaves?
The leaf looks more like a tulip leaf though perhaps?
