During a recent trip to Arizona I picked up this blue creamer.  I didn’t know anything about it and decided to take a chance that it was an older piece.

I have learned alot about its possible provenance although I do not definitively know its origin.

I posted the piece on the great Facebook site – Vintage Glass Identification – as I couldn’t find anything in my own resources to give me a hint as to the pattern name and history.  This is a great site.  Members are very eager to identify pieces and I had a response in no time flat.

I learned that the original EAPG manufacturer of this Wildflower pattern was Adams & Company of Pittsburgh.  It was Adams’ pattern no. 140.  When Adams merged with U.S. Glass in the late 1890s, this company likely continued to produce this pattern.  I was also advised that the piece was reproduced for the L.G. Wright Company of New Martinsville, West Virginia.  The Glass Encyclopedia provided some historical information about the company.  The company used original molds, or purchased molds and had other companies produced the finished pieces for it.  This was one of the patterns that they produced.

The website Sean George Pressed Glass & Goblets provides more history about this pattern and points out that pieces have been produced by L.G. Wright, Crystal Art Glass (Cambridge, Ohio), Summit Art Glass (Akron, Ohio) and by Mosser Glass Co. (Cambridge, Ohio).

Long story short – no idea who made this particular piece and/or when.  But it is pretty.

 

Hazel Atlas Moderntone Platonite – Red / Salmon and White

I wish I could remember where I bought these pieces creamer, two saucers and a small plate.  I do know it was on our spring road trip through Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana and I can recall the shop, but not the location.  Oh well, I guess is really doesn’t matter.

I saw these pieces and remembered them from a book I have.  I’d never seen them before, nor since.

The lines on the saucers differ in colour.  One is a deep red and one looks more like a salmon.  It doesn’t look like the colour has faded – looks original.  I don’t know if it was meant to be red, or if pinkish salmon was also made.

Platonite is the name of the glass I think.  Moderntone is the line (again, I think).

These are not Depression pieces, but made in the late forties/early fifties.

My book shows this line with willow designs in red and blue.  Very pretty.  I like the cobalt willow decoration and would love to see these.

I picked up this sugar/creamer set awhile back and had no luck identifying it.  I saw it online also unidentified.  I finally got around to posting it on a Facebook Group to which I belong – Vintage Glass Identification – and someone responded with the ID very quickly.

I was quite surprised to discover that this set was from the same line as the compote below.  Never crossed my mind to make the connection.

It is so great to have a veritable world of people to help you out with your questions.

I have this compote in green.  Picked this one up during my July travels in the States.  As I mentioned in my earlier post, I have found that this is line, or pattern, #1007 and is described as ‘Tulip” or tulip-shaped.  The compote comes in quite a number of colours – iridescent, amber, blue, frosted blue – at least.

I’ve seen it in blue, in the flesh.  Very pretty.
