Featured A few more pieces for opinions and...

Got a few more learning projects and hope someone can help. Thank you very much in advance

#1

I'm thinking majolica and antique I just can't make heads or tails of the blue mark.
#2
Is this anyone? I could not find one exact. i say it is amber and thumbnail but that is all I can figure out.
#3
Antique, maple syrup pitcher. I am thinking the glass is purple because of sun exposure??? Does that mean it is ruined?
#4

I have no clue.... I thought it was metal and I am still not sure it's not but I guess it could be glass too. I had one really small one time that turned out to be an object used for melting metals in and it reminds me of this but I don't know if that is even close. This is strange to me.
#5

I want to say this is a souvenir piece from Latin America but it is only a guess. The only thing I can think to call it is redware but that is my novice thinking. I see lines, so would this be turned? Studio?
#6
How do I describe this? Slag glass what? I could not find one like it and I was thinking I am not putting in the right words to search it.

Thank you for any help, comments, etc. I love learning new stuff!! I appreciate all of you.

 

#2 is Central Glass C. #796 Rope and Thumbprint c1885/86
#3 would be a Paneled Waffle pattern and the sun-purple is considered damaged by many serious collectors but there are those who do collect it.

 

So I can learn... #2 Do you just recognize it or does something give it away other than the pattern? I am trying to learn, sorry if it is a stupid question. I just read up/learned a whole bunch on Blenko!! Thank you very much for responding.

 

Number one is similar to a plate in the Collectors Encyclopedia of Majolica. The center appears different but size might account for that.

Yours does look old to my eye and your second photo shows a repair at 8 o'clock.

 

Many of us can recognize in excess of 1000 patterns of glass. No big deal.

 

Wow, you have an eagle eye! @say_it_slowly Mine is a little different, could that mean copy or fake? I just got spanked for fake Roseville, which I did not know was even faked!

 

Ok, it's experience! I will get there one day, hopefully. tyvm

 

@TallCakes great page you gave with all of the stands

 

EAPG is generally recognized by multiple motifs; in your syrup the major motif is the waffle which is divided into panels with those vertical ribs. There are many known waffle patterns but I didn't see one with an exact match to this in a couple of references; tho' you can find examples of your syrup noted as 'Paneled Waffle'.

similar online example in ruby:

I have a lot of reading to do on the EAPG I have no clue on anything about it So like the mixed rope and thumbnails designs is what you are talking about as far as different motifs? Does the presence of seams always mean pressed glass or could that be other things as well? @TallCakes

 

yes, the thumbprint and rope band are the major motifs of the covered compote. Seam lines may be an indication of pressed or mold blown; tho' often seam lines were fire polished and eliminated or greatly diminished. The number of seam lines is dependent on the complexity of the design, and has nothing to do with age. A good reference for EAPG motif's is McCain's Field Guide to Pattern Glass

 

thank you for the name of the guide Just purchased it!!! $2.34 ty~~

 

I helped you on the forums long ago with the crucible for smelting metals. #4 could be one I suppose. The one you had long ago was obvious to me while this, not so much. Here is a Google search for crucibles showing many in a possible similar material. https://www.google.com/search?q=cru...xMrZAhXFs1kKHZyFBe4Q_AUICygC&biw=1680&bih=913

 

#6 was made using techiques used in the making of stained glass windows and lampshades. It's called copper foil. Individual pieces of glass are wrapped in thin copper foil, and then soldered together.

I have a feeling it is the work of a student or hobbyist working on their techique.
It is possibly a commercial piece as I do remember boxes and such being sold as giftware items in the 1970's and the colors are from that timeframe. Regardless, I doubt you will find a maker and I doubt it would be important to value.

Slag glass is the general term usually used to described glass with streaks through it.

 

Wow, you have a great memory This does not have a pour spout so now I am wondering even more about this odd piece. I think I remember that my other pieces did not either but... This is a strange piece for sure

 

Thank you for responding I didn't think it was too much of anything, I was just at a loss for words on how to describe it.

 

Certainly a nice old English majolica plate: 1840s or so. You'll probably never find out who.

I agree on that glass thing being a student piece.

 

Thank you everyone for the help

 

The edges look wavy on it and I tend to think that would rule it out if I am seeing it correctly. I have a family member that collects mining memorabilia and has several like the prior one you had was why I knew what it was.

And I do have a pretty good memory for stuff that doesn't really matter. Now if I could just remember the important stuff!

BTW I LOVE the Majolica plate!!!!!

 

I see the edges and there is no spout. I was just thinking it reminded me of them, I guess. I am with you about remembering the important stuff! Ty on the plate, it is kinda cool.
