    Yea, sorry, I was thinking it might be the owner or decorator not the maker of the glass. I keep finding satin glass jars in this shape said to be Mt Washington but that's where my knowledge ends.

    Not sure if anyone’s already said the exact same thing, but I would be thinking... “ it was Marjorie’s Mother’s....Mildred White Hayes” .....and has anybody thought about polishing the inside of that ?silver? Rim where there seems to be a bit of writing???....(3rd image down) WITHOUT GETTING THE JAR WET & LOSING THAT INSCRIPTION ON THE BOTTOM!!!! Maybe start with a sunshine cloth??? Just my thoughts on it....

    Thanks everyone for a fun discussion. Does anyone see this pattern as Mt Washington? I don't see anything quite like it.

    It always seems a shame when someone goes to a lot of trouble to identify family pieces and then over a century later, they are again a mystery. it looks to have been painted by the original owner. I would call the design “Intestinal Scrolls with Flowers” or something like that.

    I finally found a match for the fittings. The seller claims it's Mt. Washington but it is unmarked. I think the term has become a fast and loose dealer term with no solid attributions. Mt. Washington was so prolific and tableware items hand-painted, so you may never find an exact match. Plus, the glass was married with the fittings made by another prolific company, Pairpoint. There is also a marked difference in quality between their simpler table ware and the higher-end design line peices with specially formulated art glass effects, and more skilled painters, such as Burmese and Royal Flemish. I think you may have to settle for "Wild Rose with Rococco Ruffle" if you like. https://www.etsy.com/listing/961264...rest&share_time=1613076631000&utm_term=so.slt

    PS- Did you look for a mark on the metal?

    I agree that silver needs a good, gentle polish. There may be marks that OP just can't see, maybe not, but the silver will look better and be happier ;)
