I still\u00a0think that the flowers look more like sunflowers than lilies.<\/p>\n

I had not seen this flashed on Ruby colour in the past.\u00a0 The colour is sprayed on to the amber bowl.\u00a0 It is very vibrant.\u00a0 I was lucky, the colour is virtually intact.<\/p>\n

\"Indiana<\/a>Update from my original May 11, 2012 posting. \u00a0Oddly enough I purchased a piece of this in milk glass yesterday and one today, in two different towns. \u00a0It spurred me on to try to further identify this piece. \u00a0Turns out is WAS made by Indiana Glass and is called Lily Pons.<\/p>\n

This is what Carnival Heaven<\/a>\u00a0has to say about the pattern…<\/p>\n

“Lily Pons is Indiana Glass Pattern Number 605. It was first introduced in 1930 and reproduced many times over the years. The original Lily Pon was made in crystal, green and pink, the usual depression glass colors. The reproductions were made in olive green, amber, milk glass, ruby flash glass and gold carnival glass.<\/p>\n

So…these pieces were made in the 1960s & 1970s. \u00a0Have a look at the Carnival Heaven site for photos of the originals.<\/p>\n

My long suffering partner \"\"<\/a>supports my glass collecting habits. \u00a0When he is out and about he is often looking for a deal for me, even though he is not as familiar with glass pieces as I might be.<\/p>\n

He recently brought home this bowl. \u00a0My first reaction was “hmmmm…” not quite my thing. \u00a0I suggested that we give it away to someone in the family who thought it was pretty.<\/p>\n

But, lo and behold we were out and about visiting various antique shops when, over the course, of a day I came across this bowl twice, I think.<\/p>\n

So…..I looked at it again. \u00a0It is very pretty. \"\"<\/a>Shiny iridescent colours. \u00a0Flower petals make up the shape. \u00a0I saw this on ebay and it was cited to be a piece of Indiana Glass or Northwood. \u00a0No idea, can’t find a mark.<\/p>\n

Now, although it is still not my thing, I will likely hang on to it for a bit and not pass judgment quite so quickly.<\/p>\n
