Topic: Octagonal pressed plate with sunflower or daisy pattern

[Chris Harrison]

25 cm across.
Well-pressed and finished, though slightly mis-shaped.
Could it be a Bagley piece?

[Lustrousstone]

No, not Bagley.

Could be Greener with that star in the middle? Similar stars are found on Leerdam i think.

[Chris Harrison]

Thanks for the comments, folks.

Christine:  I realise that this isn't in any of the documented Bagley stuff, but I found this at a car boot not far from Pontefract, and the star reminded me (however slightly) of the Bagley fish scale plate.

Tiger: Haven't found anything along those lines.  There is a five-pointed star on Leerdam piece, but that's all.

Today someone suggested it might be American, but that's way out of my comfort zone.

The star is not uncommon and I have seen it on known Inwald stuff. If the base rim is ground and polished, Inwald may be your answer.

The Bagely fish scale has fish tails in the middle and the "hole" is for easier drilling for the metal fitments that became so popular in the UK. Note the reinforced rim.

Some of the points of the star are different sizes, with the inner ones being smaller. Are the Inwald stars like that?

I was thinking of this one when i posted earlier... http://www.inchicore-pressedglass-museum.org/0496-2.htm

Fish tails?  I thought it was a Yorkshire rose!  Must take another look.

Inwald did cross my mind, but I couldn't find anything like it in the books, either for Inwald or Rudolfova - or owt else, for that matter!

[Chris Harrison]

Thanks, TC.  That muddies things nicely. 
Do we have any Jobling experts on board?

If the base rim is ground and polished, Inwald may be your answer.

Is the base rim polished and shiny?

Is the base rim polished and shiny?

Yes, 'tis.
