Featured Help ID US Glass Dish

Suggestions on the maker?
Thanks

 

Hi,
Are you sure it is an USA piece?

Was, after you asked, not any more

 

The edge frit says Jefferson on the maker try "Swag with brackets" for a pattern. I'd start here. http://www.eapgs.org/patterns/

 

I can't help, but that is lovely. Is this considered watermelon glass?

 

No it is opalescent Looks yellow with the pink edge frit and white opalescence. Watermelon is a collector term for pink and green glass. As far as I know Jefferson did not make any.

 

Thanks George.

 

Thanks.
Says rare but don’t know if true.

Hi,
I am amazed about it being a US piece.

Jefferson did a lot of this style. When you see that frit on EAPG pattern it is almost always Jefferson.

 

Much of Jefferson's wares were gift and decorative wares. There were patterns among the wares, but many pieces are collected because they're toothpick holders, or salt shakers or spooners, or whatever.
George, above, is absolutely correct about the ruby frit on the edge, several pieces can be confused with Northwood, except for that ruby frit.
