I’ve shown this pattern before, in the clear and in the iridescent. \u00a0This is real pretty – I hope the photo adequately \"\"<\/a>shows the attractiveness of the contrasting red\/yellow. \u00a0I’d never seen this colour combination in Iris before.<\/p>\n

Glass Menagerie<\/a>\u00a0gives a good precis of this pattern. \u00a0They say, “It should be noted that around 1946, a few Iris pieces turned up in crystal, decorated with Gold and Red.\u00a0 This color tended to wear badly and finding these pieces still with good color is difficult.\u00a0 The line was called “Corsage” and was styled by Century.\u00a0\u00a0 A period of little production followed until the 1970’s when Jeannette reproduced some of their old line in crystal, flashed with\u00a0different colors.\u00a0 Again, these colors wore off.\u00a0\u00a0 A good example is the candy dish bottom only that was flashed with red, yellow, blue or green color and refired.\u00a0 These\u00a0candy bases are easily distinquished from the original as they lack the “rayed”\u00a0base pattern and have no covers.” \u00a0Read the full description, at their site, it’s quite informative. \u00a0My dish is actually in very good shape with little colour loss. \u00a0Just lucky I guess! \u00a0I saw the Coronet recently. \u00a0It was quite worn. \u00a0Hard to say what it was like when new, but I didn’t think it was as pretty as this piece.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>I bought this dish on the weekend for $5.00. \u00a0I think I’ll use it, along with the iridescent sandwich dish, on the deck this summer. \u00a0Nice, pretty, on-the-deck-entertaining-ware.<\/p>\n
