Celery vase, EAPG, Pattern Glass

IMG_3421For some reason I have, in the past, long longed for a celery vase.  There is something about the old pressed pieces that is very attractive.

Awhile back I picked up this vase, on one of our trips, with pretty detailing.  I poked around looking for a pattern and came across this great site – Patternglass.com.  I didn’t see my piece, but took advantage of the offer to contact the store and ask for a pattern ID.IMG_3423

The site owner very quickly provided an identification of the pattern – Sheaf & Diamonds by Higbee.  The owner also indicated that there Higbee made a very similar pattern named Grand a/k/a Diamond Medallion.

I had also posted the piece on the Everyday and Elegant Glass Forum.   One of the members indicated that there are several very similar patterns with diamond & fan motifs and suggested that I take a closer look and compare to ‘Diamond & Sunburst’ by Bryce, Walker & Co.
I have one reference book – the Florences’ American Pattern Glass table sets text.  There is a photo of the Diamond Medallion pattern, which is not this piece, but no photos of the other two patterns.  I also have the book – Bryce, Higbee and J.B. Higbee Glass by Lola and Wayne Higby.  There are some examples of items in the Sheaf & Diamonds pattern.  They do not match my piece.
Online there are quite a number of pieces that DO look like the pattern on my vase and ARE identified as Diamond & Sunburst by Bryce.  I think that the second opinion that I received was the accurate one.  It is difficult to pick up the details of the pattern through a photo.  In fact there is a sample of this pattern on Patternglass.com that says the pattern was produced in the 1870s by Bryce and Walker and was pattern #77.
I am grateful to both women for their opinions and for their efforts to point me in the right direction.
In any event I finally have a celery vase, now I just need some celery!

frame of glassI was making new business- sized cards to put into the parcels that I send out.  I wanted to make a graphic with photos of some of the glass that I own, or have owned.  I think all these pieces have been posted on this site at one point or the other.

Anyway, I was playing with photos and managed, althoughFrame 2 I don’t really know how, to make these two frames.  They include some of my favourite pieces.

Pretty pieces, aren’t they?

Bowl, Coloured Glass, Pink Glass, Pressed Glass

Unknown Pink Bowl (2)My guy brought this home for me.  I guess it is attractive inits own way, but it doesn’t do a thing for me.

I don’t know if it is old or not.  I posted it on a Facebook site that I belong to and asked if it was recognized.  Someone suggested that it was made by Walther Glass of Germany and was a pattern called Belvedere.Unknown Pink Bowl (3)

I found the Belvedere pattern, but it doesn’t look to be a match.  In the absence of much response I think it is likely relatively modern.  Although there are some nice details, I think it will find a home at the local thrift shop, or with a neighbour who likes pink glass.
