Title: Carnival glass Help 2
Post by: Dogaman on December 28, 2013, 12:05:09 PM
Greetings,

Bought these two items today at the flea market. I'm unsure as to the pattern(s), makers, and era. Could it be Imperial Chesterfield? Or Imperial Colonial? Or Smooth Rays? David Doty doesn't list covered compotes/candy dishes for these patterns.

I understand that the pattern would dictate maker and probably the era.

Item in first two pics measures 8" high by 5.5" wide.
Item in the third pic measures 7.5" high by 3.5" wide.

Thanks, in advance!

The bottom pic is called Chesterfield and was made by Imperial Glass. I am not sure of the date. I had that one myself once.

Thanks, Frog.  Thought it might be with the smooth band running across the edge of the bottom part.

Thanks to the lights in the room where you took the pic,, it shows the pink tinge I have seen on other Imperial CG pieces !! You have to turn it in the light to notice it if you are holding it, but it sure shows in your pic !! Just more pink than others !!

Mart,

The  "Chesterfield" is sitting on a white bath towel with the ceiling fan lights on; nothing more. We're still having overcast skies!

Mart,

I see what you mean: the pink highlights running around the breadth of the base. I haven't the foggiest what caused that. I will take pics when the sun decides to break through the cloud cover.
