Featured Australian carnival glass “doe” kangaroo “fernless bottom” master bowl set.

I'm going to stop whining about not finding anything in the thrift shops
now that I've found the equivalent of almost 1Kg of silver for $10.
Strictly speaking this should be in the finds section but I wanted
to make sure the search engines picked up the “fernless” images as
I had great difficulty in my online search of this set. Most of these
kangaroo Master bowls as they are known have a fern decoration underneath
but it turns out there is a rarer version with a plain bottom such as mine.
There are two basic types. One has a branch under the feet and is known as
the Doe and one doesn't and is known as the Buck version. The smaller
bowls are known by the uninspiring name “nappy” bowls.

Lovely, Stephen, a very nice find for au$10.
Nappy bowls because of the napkin draped shape, I think. Like a table napkin or serviette, not the other kind.
Or maybe they lined them with a serviette before putting in an individual side serving of bread. Or am I being too fancy?

 

Very nice! I think it's interesting that your master bowl appears to have a Registry number in the glass just below the Kangaroo. Doty's site has some info on this pattern, which I assume you've seen but I'll link to it for any others to see since there doesn't seem to be a search feature on that site any longer.

I’m sorry to jump in on this with something that isn’t relevant to what you’re talking about. I’m new on here I’m trying to figure out how it works. Somebody named Peter sent me an email right when I first started out welcome me to the site. I responded several times and I’ve never gotten any reply. I don’t know who to talk to to get somebody to answer me. If you guys do please send them to my inbox so I can figure out what’s going on. This is driving me crazy. I have no clue how to post only how to comment on somebody else’s post. Thank you.

 

That is quite all right Robert, I remember this happens sometimes. One of the moderators, @daveydempsey or @Bookahtoo will explain and can probably help you.

Welcome to the forum!

 

Welcome to Antiquers Robert!

I’m confused how are they different? I’ve got a lot going on so I’m not even sure how my account was supposed to be confirmed. What is it supposed to go to an email? Maybe I’m going to have to re-register

 

@Robert Moon , yes the confirmation was supposed to go to email. Somewhere @daveydempsey did a post about things to try in order to find it. However, it is in the Support and Testing section, which may or may not be visible if you are not confirmed. Can you see this thread? http://www.antiquers.com/threads/registration-confirmation.25219/

Looking in the spam folder has worked for some people but not others. I'm not sure of the meaning of different IP addresses for sign up and content. Maybe your ISP reassigns IPs each time you use a device?

If you sign up again you would have to use a different email address and user name, I believe.
