Center Handled PlateI know that I always say that a piece is particularly attractive.  Broken record!  But…..this piece IS particularly appealing.  It’s not breathtakingly beautiful, nor is it unique.  But, there is just ‘something’ about this server.

I think it might be the shade of blue which highlights the floral etches that makes it stand out.

I posted this online for an ID.  I didn’t receive much feedback – some comment that it might be a Westmoreland piece.

Center Handled Plate (2)I took a peek at the website of the National Westmoreland Glass Collectors Club to see if I could find a match.  I did not, but I did find a link that allows you to seek a glass ID.  What a wonderful service – very prompt.  This is what I was told:

“I  believe the server blank was made by Lancaster Glass Company and not Westmoreland because Westmoreland never made a server with the straight handle.  Westmoreland’s servers always had a slight curve.  If you check the 1929 sales catalogue in the album section of the page you will can locate what the Westmoreland server looked like. ”

How great was that?  Very accommodating customer service.

I only have one Lancaster text, and couldn’t find it in there.  So…..this pretty piece has to remain an unknown for now.
