Weird Glass Bowls Log Looking Handle

Finding all kinds of stuff. These bowls measure 4 3/4" across. The handle looks like a log. Any idea on maker?

 

OK. Those are weird.

 

A type of lacy butter pats??? Is that there a pic in the middle of them? If so might it be Lincoln? If Lincoln the log fits.

Lincoln as in the name of a glass company?

 

No, Lincoln as appears on a penny.

If so, I can't see it.

Too big for a butter pat. Probably not logs. Looks like it but logs don't usually curl like that. Reminds me of some jelly like stuff, similar to gummy bears.

Do those things have both ends flat, with like a six sided star? IF yes OR no, I'm curious what that star represents.

 

Its hard to see the pattern against that color , but Im wondering if its a yule log and those are holly's ?

 

The ends of the log things are mostly flat.

 

Just found it...why do I keep buying things that don't sell well!

Never heard of Campbell, Jones & Co. If I were offering for sale I'd use Bryce. But that's me.
$12 apiece is not bad for something that no one knows why it was made in the first place.

What disappoints me is we still don't know what the gummy log really is.

 

Campbell, Jones & Co. originally named this pattern 'Rustic'; I'd call the form a handled nappy...

 

Thanks Tall

 

If you list use the right maker. Campbell Jones is well known among EAPG collectors as is the pattern. The shapes and pattern details in this line do vary.

 

Yeah, I think I will list them. Just took some better pics( I hope) and see what happens. Thanks everyone!

 

There is a fine new book on Campbell Jones by Sid Lethbridge that shows the different shapes and dates these to the 1880's. There is no indication that Bryce at any time had anything to do with this pattern. You might mention that it is part of the Pittsburgh makers as some collectors look for those companies..

 

Thanks George, will do that

 

Kraft blue and George. Forgive my error. I did say, "But that's me" because I am not an EAPG collector and am not familiar with Campbell Jones.
Bryce, Bryce Bros and Bryce Higbee, yes.

I was under the impression that Campbell Jones was basically out of business in the later 1800s after a name change to Jones Cavitt and after a fire burned down the factory. Thought they quit and Bryce acquired their moulds.

 

Jones Cavitt was a successor company. I do not recall if it wound up in the USG combine. I can look.

 

after Campbell dropped out the company became Jones, Cavitt, which ceased after a major fire in 1891. Remaining tools and molds were sold at auction; one reference mention a few molds may have been purchase by Bryce and perhaps went on to USG. So is there any proof in catalogs or elsewhere that any of the old CJ&C molds were actually used???

 

Tall's got it all, above. As an aside, when the company changed hands (twice in 2 years) from Campbell, Jones, to Jones, Cavitt, to U. S. Glass Co., the probability is as follows. Old stock was transferred, and sold. U. S. Glass Co. was in the process of introducing and selling 6ix new patterns every six months, and after 1893 was struck (for four years) by the Flint Glass workers, and did not have the production facilities to make both their new patterns and wares from the member companies. They sold old stock they had on hand.

 

Personally, I really like this pattern. It will sell if priced realistically. Perhaps the log is meant to invoke the tree of knowledge.
