Hi all :)
I'm looking for help finding the maker of these plates and, if possible, when they were produced. Nothing too exciting or interesting I'm sure, but my sister bought them at a thrift store and she's curious about them. They have a base, or foot, and are about 7 inches.
The closest footed hobnail plates I seem to be able to find are by Fenton, but they have a crimped edge.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanks!
-
They have nice fire !! 7 in. are saucers,,perhaps for a tea set !! I would look again at Fenton !! They are older,, not the new stuff they call milk glass !! Bet Wendy can tell you about them !!
-
Couldn`t find them by Fenton either,,, maybe Westmoreland !!!
-
Fenton did a plain rim and these are similar, but theirs tended to have more hobnails / dimples.
-
Do you remember the pattern name of the Fenton ??
-
No, sorry. These look like dessert or torte plates
-
These appear to be dessert plates. NICE!
-
Thanks for the help all.
So probably desert plates, but we're still not sure on a maker? I would lean towards Fenton, but the only ones like this have a smaller foot and more hobnails, like Ipcress said.
Hmmm ???
-
Check Westmoreland or Federal !! Wendy would probably know,, maybe she will be on soon !!
-
Bumping up for you Wendy !!
-
L.E. Smith made some hobnail milk glass...but I have no idea what their plates (if any) looked like.
-
Saucers are typically 5 1/2" to 5 3/4". Dessert and Salad are typically 7" up to 7 3/4"
-
I have two sets,, both are 7 inch saucers !! Of course they are newer !! My dessert plates do not have that indent in center !! Looks like that was to keep something centered and not sliding off !!
-
Sherbert Liners maybe?
-
As far as Fenton company records I have copies of for hobnail plates do not match your plates
Will do some digging but so many small and almost unknown companies made milk that do not have records to date for one reason or another we may never know. Heres a list if you want to start to dig also. Akro Agate company/ Atterbury & Comapny/ Boyd's crystal art glass Inc/ Cambridge glass company/ Challinor, Taylor & co/ Coudersport Tile & Ornamental Glass co/ Dithridge & Company/ Duncan & Miller glass co/ Eagle Glass & Manufacturing co/ Fenton art Glass/ Flaccus brothers co.-E.C. Flaccus co./ Fostoria glass co/ Gibson glass/ Gillinder & sons/ Hobbs, Brockunier & co/ Hocking- Anchor Hocking/ Imperial glass co/ Indiana glass co/ Indiana Tumbler & goblet co/ Jeanette glass co/ Kanawa glass co/ Kemple glass works/ McKee and brothers/ Mosser glass co/ Plum glass co/ Sowerby & co/ Tiffin glass/ U.S. glass co/ Vallerysthal & Portieux/ Westmoreland glass co/ L.G. Wright co. to name a few ;)

L.E. Smith did do a plate close to yours but the foot has small hobnails and not as many in the overall pattern as yours!

One down we know it is not L. E. Smith
-
Haha, one down and a lot to go :)
Appreciate the help everyone!

These could be for the ice cream bowls to sit (thus dessert plate) in or soup! But believe the dessert is your bet.
But luncheon plates are typically 7' to 8" and they usually don't have the distinct rim (this style is called a rim plate.
Not a snack set plate or would have the distinct area to place the cup.
Agree Wendy. I have looked through all my books and couldn't find this one...but then I don't have the resources like you.
-
Didn`t find it in Anchor Hocking, Imperial or Jeanette !!
-
Anchor Hocking? I saw similar plates in green on Google search.
-
But no irridescent white !! And hobnail pattern is different !! Yours seems to spiral, theirs don`t that I have found !!
-
Well I can't seem to find it on google with any of those companies. Wish I had more resources :/
Not sure if I'm going to hold on to them or sell them. I am rather fond of them. Any guesses on a value or time frame when they were made?
-
Don`t know, but I would hang on to them till I found out !!
-
So one last bump for this one :) I just can't find anything on them :/ so any guess on high/low value or age would be great :)
-
Mine is a guess just from what little I know ( glass is not my area) but I would guess mid to late 30`s and as price/value without anything to go with them, under $10. each !! Knowing maker might change that value but probably not much !!
