| HELP please.
I bought a clear rose colored glass dish at a sale. It resembles a plate that has 2 sides brought up to look like the flat baskets you would gather cut flowers in. there is a symbol of a 'treble clef ' on the bottom center of the dish. The dish reminds me of depression era glass but I don't think it is that old. Does anyone know who made this? Thanks so much. |

| Sounds like a "banana boat"....but we need pictures to really ID it. Linda C |
|
| Is it a treble clef or could it possibly be something that looks like a cursive L? |
|
| Not an I G with 1 imposed over the other, that is Imperial Glass. Viking had a lot of vases, rose bowls but they had clear sticker on them. Is it completely plain or is there a design etched? A.H. Heisey made unusual items but their molds were sold to Imperial in 1958. Both companies are gone now. pic would sure help. |

| Embarrassing though it is.....I never saw that mark and can't find anything about it on line....sigh.... LOL! The dish looks like depression glass in the form....I can't get a good picture of the color...but it looks like that depression glass pink. I have a huge list of who DIDN'T make it...Jeanette, anchor hocking, Fenton, Fostoria, Imperial, Heisey.... Well you get the idea! I believe it dates to about 1930 to 1950...not sure if it's american....a picture showing the color will be a better indication....and I think it's a very nice piece. It's commonly called a Banana Bowl...yes made form the mold of a plate that has had the sides pushed up while it's still not set. It was used as a center piece for a table usually with fruit....and I'll bet there were candle sticks to go with it. Sorry I can't put a name on it. Linda C |
