Hello all,

19th century, 8.25" tall, 6" wide   4" wide at mouth.  orange white pink and blue white flowers. Can anyone help to verify this is Findlay Onyx? Anything to look for?

Thanks in advance!

Onyx is a patented yellowish white opaque glass with raised silver daisy decorations. A few rare pieces were made of rose, amber, orange, or purple glass but the flower pattern in all colors and shapes stayed the same here are a few examples of flower pattern in 2 colors http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/8491301

 Floradine and Onyx, although they are the same pattern, are easy to tell apart. Floradine has a red base color and Onyx can be numerous colors, including white, yellow, amber, maroon or silver But again all in the same shapes &  daisy pattern.
Your piece is beautiful & does appear to be an older piece but would need to search to determin maker (not an easy task  :)
