    I know very little about glass…
    Is this vintage? Any idea who made it? I thought the colors were interesting! It’s pink with what appears to be a fluted Vaseline edge, but do correct me if I’m wrong lol. (The clear plate it's sitting on does not belong with it.)
    It’s 3.5 inches high and 10 inches in diameter.
    Thanks!

    Wow, thank you! I searched pink Vaseline glass bowl and that bowl didn’t show up for me. Cranberry was the magic word, I guess! I never would’ve thought it was Victorian… That’s fab. If anyone can access the Worthpoint result, do let me know what it went for!

    (And I did spend the $6.96 to take it home with me.)

    I just came across this on Pinterest but the link is broken. The title mentions that the stand is Rogers silver plate.
    Are the bowls still desirable at all when they don’t have the stand?

    Apparently, this is page #96 of the book "Hobbs, Brockunier &Co., Identification and Value Guide" by Neila and Tom Bredehoft.
    I grabbed a screenshot of someone's photo. Too bad they don't show the whole caption.
    Just what is "Richelieu"?
    A ruby red one with the vaseline edge can currently be seen in eBay's sold listings for $208 US, and a turquoise Richelieu one for $150.

    From the Bredehofts' Hobbs Brockunier book: "Date: ca. 1886. Colors: Ruby with white rim, turquoise Richelieu, pink Richelieu, ruby with yellow rim, canary with ruby rim, lemon yellow translucent with ruby striped rim, turquoise with yellow lining. It is likely that many other color combinations exist."

    Thanks, ascot!

    Anyone know what "Richelieu" means when used about glass? Googling hasn't been helpful, other that to tell me that there's currently a Richelieu Glass Company, a Richelieu Glazing Supplies, and a Richelieu Hardware...

    Nope, I've always considered myself a student of glass, not a scholar. If I were persuaded to give answer, it would be "based upon Hobbs, Brockunier's use, they may have implied "two colors of glass on one piece,"" but that's only one student's guess.
