Item 1.
This very elegant electric lamp may have been converted to electricity, or it may
be more modern than it looks. We're not sure. Either way, we would appreciate any
information you may have on this lamp. |
 |
 |
Item 2.
This is the master bowl of a 7pc berry set which we cannot
identify. It carries the 'W' label seen in this photo. We have seen
quite a few of these pieces selling here in Australia, and it was even
mentioned in an early book on Australian carnival glass. However, the
label makes us doubt an Australian origin.
Cathy Bannister believes
the set could originate from Waltherglas in Germany, but neither of us
can find any evidence to support this theory. Can anyone else help out
with this mystery? |
Item 3.
These cute little vases have us stumped, and your help in identifying them would
be appreciated. |
 |
 |
Item 4.
In the absence of any information to the contrary we have dubbed this large bowl
'French Deco'. It is 9" wide and has the words 'MADE IN FRANCE' moulded into the bottom
of the interior. Any clues who the manufacturer was and what it is called? |
Item 5.
The Europeans certainly knew how to make their dresser sets, and that's where we
suspect this great example comes from. But we don't know who made it, or what it is
called. Can you help? |
 |
 |
Item 6.
While we suspect this stunning tray is a European dresser tray, it may also be
the tray for a cordial set. Does anyone know for sure what it is? Whatever it is, it is
certainly stunning. |
Item 7.
This tumbler certainly looks European to us, but we can't find it identified
anywhere (probably staring us right in the face again!). Can anyone help us out? |
 |
 |
Item 8.
Very little seems to have been written about carnival glass light shades, so it
is very difficult to uncover a lot of information about the numerous shapes and patterns
that are available. Here is a a very plain ribbed light shade. The glass is of the very
solid type, unlike some of the flashed shades such as Item 21 below. Can anyone help us
out with information on this shade? Your help would be greatly appreciated. |
Item 9.
This 9" wide heavy spherical shape light shade came complete with all the
beautiful brass fittings you see here. It took two people to hold it up while the
electrician wired it in. The iridescence is a very gold colour. Does anyone know anything
of its origins? |
 |
 |
Item 10.
At 10" wide this spherical light is slightly larger and heavier than its
cousin above, and the iridescence is much more orange. It's a beauty isn't it, and looks
wonderful with the light bulb shining inside. Any help with information on this piece
would really be appreciated. |
Item 11.
Using carnival glass terminology I would describe the colour of these cute little
6" wide light shades as 'clear'. They throw a rainbow of colour onto the ceiling of any
room in which they are used, and are just beautiful. But we know nothing about who made
them. Your help would be appreciated if you know anything. |
 |
 |
Item 12.
Carol has helped us to identify this as the 'Diamond Frame'
pattern, but unfortunately the maker is still unknown. Can anyone help
us out with a maker? |
Item 13.
OK, this one will test you out. It's a 3 1/4" long marigold stopper, with
four little add-on (not moulded) patterns of glass around the circumference. Does anyone
know which bottle or decanter this came from. Our guess is a European perfume bottle of
some sort. |
 |
 |
Item 14.
What a pretty little vase. Our guess is that Imperial was the maker, but that's
just a guess. We have no information at all about this vase, but would love to know more.
Can you help out here? |
Item 15.
This vase stands 7 1/4" high and its only pattern is a total coverage of
stippling. Because of similarities with other Jeanette vases, we suspect they were the
manufacturer, but would love to know for sure, as well as what to call it. |
 |
 |
Item 16.
Very orange in colour, with a pattern of rings on the outside
and flutes on the inside, this vase is most likely late in origin, but
we know nothing about it. Deb Walsh thought it may be part of
Anchor Hocking's 'Peach Lustre' range, but I can find no reference to a
ribbed base in this line. Any clues anyone? |
Item 17.
Can anyone shed any light on these unidentified light shades? (No pun intended). |
 |
 |
Item 18.
Here is another unidentified
light shade. Any help you can offer in identifying any of these light shades would be
greatly appreciated. |
Item 19.
Isn't this a beauty? Our guess is that it is European, but we have no idea who
made it or where it was made? Can anyone help out here?
|
 |
 |
Item 20.
Here is the first of a series of powder jars we cannot identify. It has a very
tight prism type pattern covering the whole exterior of the jar, and there are a couple of
what look like roses around the sides. The iridescence is an almost yellow colour. Any
ideas what pattern this might be and who made it? |
Item 21.
The pattern on the lid of this powder jar is on the inside, while the pattern on
the base is an exterior pattern only. Strange! Does anyone know anything about it?
|
|
|
Item 22.
The design of the handle on the lid of this powder jar leads us to believe it
may have been
made by Hazel Atlas, but we cannot confirm this. The ribbed pattern is on the outside.
Does anyone know its origins for sure? |
Item 23.
With a handle identical to the jar above, we believe that this powder jar also
came from Hazel Atlas but cannot confirm it. The pattern is similar to the 'Diamond Point
Columns (Late)' pattern made by Hazel Atlas, so this could be a clue. Bill Edwards and
Mike Carwile listed this exact powder in their encyclopaedia under the name 'Diamond
Point Columns (Late), so perhaps that is what it is.
|
 |
|
Item 24.
How about this creamer? Or is it a gravy boat? Either way it has a lid, a big
curved handle, and a wide spout. The pattern comprises lots of hobstars. We would love to
know more about it.
|
Item 25.
This is not the only example of this cordial set we have seen here in Australia, so there
is a possibility it was made by Crown Crystal, but again, another mystery. Any information
would be greatly appreciated.
|
|
 |
Item 26.
Possibly intended as a light in an entry hall, this cylindrical light shade has
beautiful colouring. This is one of a number of carnival glass light shades we are
listing in the hope that someone can tell us more about them. Can you help?
|
Item 27.
Simple, but elegant. We just love this beautiful marigold decanter, but don't
know anything about it. Any clues would be greatly appreciated. |
|
 |
Item 28.
While at first glance this bowl looks like Jeanette's 'Anniversary' pattern, it
is in fact different. But we have been unable to determine who made it or what the pattern
is called. Any ideas? |
Item 29.
Again, similar to Jeanette's 'Anniversary', and similar also to Imperial's '#4'
bowl, but different to both, this footed bowl is a mystery to us at present.
|
|
 |
Item 30.
These etched lamp shades are reasonably common here in Australia, and can usually
be acquired very cheaply. The glass is much thinner than the usual carnival glass, and
they are very elegant. But, again, no-one knows anything about them. Perhaps you have the
missing information we need?
|
Item 31.
This cute little ash tray may come from Taiwan, but we are not sure. It has a
large plain 'N' moulded into the base, but no underline or circle, so it is definitely not
Northwood. It is 4" wide. Any ideas anyone?
|
 |
 |
Item 32.
At 4 1/2" wide, this little 2-handled bowl has a basketweave pattern on the
back, and is smooth inside, but we have no idea who made it, or what's it's pattern name
might have been (apart from Basketweave). Our guess is that it was probably made in the
1930s or 1940s. There is a '4' moulded into the base. Can you help? |
Item 33.
Another basketweave pattern, and another mystery. Most likely made in the 1950s
or 1960s, this very shiny little bowl has us curious. Premo has suggested this might
be made by Summit, but this is unconfirmed, and no other information is available. |
 |
 |
Items 34.
This mug is one we would love to identify. It was possibly made by
Crown Crystal, but we are not sure. It has a gold painted highlight on the rim.
And no, it is not the 'Golden Oxen' mug. Can anyone help us out with more information on this
mug?
|
Item 35.
This berry set has a block type pattern around the outside, and a nice dark
iridescence. Does someone know who made this set and what it is called? Is this part of
the Jenkins 'Block' range? Ian & Barbara think it might be part of Imperial's 'Ranger'
pattern, but I can find no reference to Imperial having made a set like this. |
 |
|
Item 36.
We
are sure this oil and vinegar dispenser comes from Europe, but we have
no idea as to the manufacturer. Does anyone have any ideas? |
Item 37.
Here is a covered butter dish with a prism and diamond type pattern on
the outside. Barbara & Ian have pointed out that the base is identical to Rindskopf's
'Diamond Prisms' butter dish, and we note that the pattern also looks similar to
Rindskopf's 'Fans'. Any ideas anyone?
