This pretty round topaz plate etched bowl was produced by Fostoria from 1930-1933.
The etch is #284 New Garland and the shape is line #2430 Diadem. The base has pretty geometric detailing.

When I ran across this pretty blue piece I knew I had seen it somewhere and lo and behold it is featured (kind of) in Gene and Cathy Florence’s book – American Pattern Glass table Sets. The pattern is Open Rose a/k/a Moss Rose.
However this is a Mosser Glass Company reproduction of the original nineteenth century crystal piece. According to the Florences the original manufacturer is unknown.
Mosser reproduced spooners and goblets in amber, crystal and green as well as this blue.
It is a pretty piece, although not so old.

I do not collect milk glass deliberately. While I think milk glass is pretty, especially the more ornate pressed patterns, it’s just not ‘my thing’.
I picked this piece up somewhere – don’t really remember where and have not been able to identify it. I have posted it on a Facebook glass ID site to no avail.
It is a heavy piece – weighs over a pound on its own – with lots of details. If anyone knows its provenance, I would be grateful for information.
