the top bird is definitely a salt and definitely a reproduction, but an older reproduction. Ruth Webb Lee highlighted it as a reproduction in her book on reproductions, and that had a copyright date of sometime in the 1940's. On that particular style, if it has a berry in the beak, it is a reproduction. without the berry, it was made by Richards and Hartley 1880's.
the next one was made by BELMONT and is called their No. 100 PATTERN, but is more commonly referred to as DAISY AND BUTTON WITH LACY EDGE, or BELMONT'S DAISY AND BUTTON. There is a good following for that particular pattern, esp. if it has no damage. those rings ding or crack easily. Not knowning the size, it is either the spooner or celery (if it has a rim on the inside, the sugar, and then it came with a lid). production was early 1880's.
The large bowl with the darts was made by Hobbs, Brockunier & Co., and was their No. 101 (Daisy & Button) pattern. LG Wright later reproduced it, but from a new mold, and the darts have more distance from each other at the bottom of the bowl. the Hobbs version almost touch each other, while there is a noticable gap on the LG Wright version.
The little creamer next to it is the Bryce Bros. version I thought it was. 1880s. Their original manufacturer name for the pattern was FASHION.
The next photo shows a triangular bowl: I *think* that is also a Bryce Bros., but don't have time to look (all of this is from memory). the bowl next to it was made by Beatty Glass and was originally called VAN DYKE. It is also known as DAISY AND BUTTON WITH 'V' ORNAMENT. Beatty later joined US Glass, and that particular factory was in Tiffin, Oh, which later became known as 'Tiffin' Glass. same factory, same workers, just different management.
The last one fits into that category of 'one of the unknown D&B makers.
Some D&B collectors go for a certain company, some are not particular and if it is D&B, it fits into their collection. Too many people avoid it though, due to reproductions by LG Wright and others. patterns like the Belmont #100 or the D&B with V ornament have specific followers, as those patterns were not reproduced and people don't have to know all the ins and outs of what was reproduced and what was not.
on a side note, I always like looking at your glass auctions and have your seller name bookmarked. You always have nice stuff. I am a fan of the Brit vaseline glass and you always seem to have some. Burtles, Tate and Co. is one of my favorites, as is John Walsh Walsh.
I just got a piece of Walsh Walsh in the pattern called MINSTER KEY, (aka: WAVES by Edwards/Carwile in their opalescent book).
