Not sure of the maker or pattern but I am pretty sure it is the same for all three pieces

small berry bowl measures: 4 1/2" http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-3089

rectangle dish measures: 8 3/8" http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-3090

scalloped bowl measures: 7 1/2" http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-3092

All Three Pieces together http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-3087

Thank You!

Check out Boopie made by Anchor Hocking. I hope this helps

My mom and I inherited tons of bowls in that same pattern and we've been told that the pattern is Inspiration by Anchor Hocking, however, we've seen it referred to as burple, boopie, etc online and at shops/markets.

Hi,
I checked out boopie and my pieces don't seem to fit.
They look more like Oyster & pearl, especially the berry bowl.
The plate is an unknown, I can't find anything like it under boopie or oyster & pearl.
I agree though they are probably anchor hocking.

I feel your pain. I can't find these items in any of the seven books that we have yet see them all over the place (in shops, online, etc). It is exasperating.

When I get home, I'll take a pic from a book I have that shows your rectangular tray, if I remember correctly. The book is "Dimestore Glass of the Depression Era" and I don't think the piece was id'd as to maker. Just mentioned as one of many inexpensive pieces that were made for Woolworths and other stores like that in the 1930's-40's era.

Give me a few hours, as much as I would love to sell glass full time, at this point I still have to keep my day job, ha.

Sounds great! I remember Woolworth's as a kid. We used to go there all the time, guess we were poor. Funny as a kid you don't notice.
Thanks,

Ah but don't forget, Clarice Cliff wares were made exclusively for Woolworth's in the UK, and see what happened to those!

I remember trips to Woolworth's too - I remember the smell, it always smelled like popcorn and candy in there, ha - I lived near a very small town in the Midwest US, and we went into town a month and always got to go to Woolworth's, it was a TREAT!
