Topic: Orange carnival (?) glass - vine pattern

[eyebath]

Hi
These two (large water jug and small butter dish) have the same pattern - vine leaves and grapes. Can anyone advise re age, origin, value or anything else of interest?  I'm guessing USA, as butter dish is long and narrow - right shape for a US "stick" of butter.

(When my other half asked her American friend how much a "cup of butter" was supposed to be - in a recipe, where exact quantities are somewhat important - she got the answer "oh a cup of butter would be about a stick".      Whatever happened to  weights? Seems the American housewife knew exactly how much a stick or a cup was, but didn't use pounds or ounces so much!  Oops - off-topic)

Cheers
Andrew

I can't see anything that looks right here http://www.ddoty.com/index.html. What colour is the base glass - you can usually tell from the bottom or be looking through it? And can we have a picture of the base and possibly the irridescence in daylight

They look like Indiana Harvest Gold to my eye, but I am sure that Glen can confirm or deny

Found an identical patterned jug above. I would guess mine is marigold!

Shame the tumblers did not come with it.

Almost, more likely contemporary Imperial grape because of the butter dish http://www.ddoty.com/newimpgrape.html

Yes - I just saw that. Surprises me because the previous owner collected stuff for over 50 years and was not one to waste his money on modern repro stuff, and usually knew what was what. But nobody is an expert in everything.

Thanks for alerting me to David Doty's site.
Andrew.

...and I was going to post a new topic asking about a pair of what I thought were single rose vases but thanks to D.Doty I now know to be two marigold Octagon pattern decanters without their stoppers.

Hey-ho - maybe they'll go on ebay

You could also try looking here www.geocities.com/carni_glass_uk_2000/home.html  Glen is a member here and really know's her stuff

Andrew - your butter dish is undoubtedly Contemporary Carnival Glass made by Imperial. The pitcher is also Imperial and might be Contemporary but could easily be an original Classic item (Imperial). I suggest you examine both items carefully to see if you can find the Imperial logo (most likely on the base). It would probably be a letter I with a G over it (there were some different logos but that's a long story and I don't have time right now). The logo was used by Imperial on their Contemporary (Re-issue) Carnival.

BTW, to confirm, the pattern is Imperial Grape.

(And thank you Sue

Cannot find a logo on the jug anywhere (but here's a pic of the base) and did find one on the butter dish - see second pic.
Thanks
