Title: help id maker, period, pattern for dishes. ID = Cambridge Glass Company, USA
Post by: LoriKay on March 06, 2015, 08:27:55 PM

I purchased these elegant serving dishes from an antique mall about 10 years ago. I know nothing about them. Can you please help me identify their origin, maker, pattern and year?

Unique features: a fluid organic pattern, fluted edges and all four pieces have feet.

Cambridge Glass Company's Caprice. Extremely popular from the late 30s to 1950, therefore fairly common.

May I ask their approximate value in today's market?  :D

We really don't get into values here as they are too subjective so I suggest you go to eBay & search "sold" listings using Cambridge Caprice bowl as your search term to find currect values. I will say that Caprice does not have much value as its so common unless its a rare piece in color as 85% of all Caprice is simply clear crystal, 10% Moonlight Blue & the remaining 5% Dianthus Pink or Emerald Green or Mandarin Gold.
