    I have an epergne horn that has a familiar pattern but I can't figure it out. It measures 8" high and 5 1/2" wide at the top. I thought it might be an EAPG pattern but I can't find a thing. Does anyone know the pattern and maker? Also, could it maybe be a vase that used to have a sterling weighted base that someone removed? Thanks!

    Isn't that pretty.
    I wonder if this actually goes to an epergne or if possibly it fit in a wall bracket for an automobile.
    Time period would be right, 1920s.

    I though about that but it's too heavy and not shaped quite right to work as a car vase (IMHO). It is really pretty. If not, I would have stuck it in the basement with the rest of the lost children, as not being worth the effort. The pattern just reminds me of something I've seen . . .

    Hi Pam,
    I have seen several Austria lamps from the turn of the Century that had flower vases like yours on top of the lamp. I usually called them bordello lamps since they were hand painted and illuminated in the bottom section as well as the top sections usually with red lights. I could never really understand the fresh flowers on top but ............

    OMG! I think that I found the pattern over on David Doty's carnival web site. It's call Asters by Brockwitz. Check this out: http://www.ddoty.com/asters.html It's easiest to see in the photos of the vases. I sometimes to go Doty's site when all else fails since carnival items were often made in clear, but I never thought that this one would be there. Maybe with Greg's Austria lamps connection, this would go on top of a lamp, LOL! Ok, now that I know this, who wants to buy it?

    Now that I know the pattern, I'm finding images of 3 piece epergne bowls by Brockwitz in different patterns, the size consistent with this horn. Maybe I'll try to sell it on the off chance that someone might need a place holder until they find a carnival version.

    You might check the thistlewood site. They are experts/authors for European carnival etc. http://www.thistlewoods.net/ Glenn is very helpful and their books are worth picking up.

    Brockwitz actually called the pattern 'Marguerite' in their 1926 catalog.

    Doubtless called "Marguerite" because that's a veddy fawncy daisy pattern.

    Love it...just by itself.
