Topic: Can someone confirm/deny this is a Portieux? egg plate

[uncommonglass]

Frank, thanks for the catalogue photos! 

Is that from a patent?
Besides the difference of the center pattern, the fans around the outer edge are slightly different from the catalogue picture and my egg plate also.

Marchair - can you show pictures of the ones you are referring to?

From the Portieux catalogue. Actual pieces can vary from catalogue images.

Yes, I can take photos. I'll have to wait until the weather clears up, though, as I have to take them outdoors in order to get enough light. I'll post them when I get it done.

OK, here are some photos. First is all three of my presumed Portiux 12-egg plates. Then one shot of the 6-egg next to the 12-egg plate, and the rest will be links. I've included close shots that show the difference between the center of the ruby stained egg plate vs. the others. I hope this helps!

Beautiful pictures!  Thanks so much for showing all your Probable Portieux eggplates.  Now, to find one marked,(again) and that will clinch it. 

Thank you both again for your help!

Hi, have you seen this site?

there is a couple of Portieux including a ruby stained one.

That's my site. It's getting a bit "dusty" -- I haven't had a chance to update it for awhile.

[josordoni]

Don't know about dusty! It looks wonderful to me....

I didn't realise it was yours.... doh! 

[marchair]

Thanks! 

I have several glass egg plates I need to add to it, plus a lot of non-glass ones; and need to update some things. Now that I've taken these photos for this thread, I should change the photos on the site, as these are a lot better than those I have under "Portieux."
