<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 79298, member: 44"]I'm not 100% sure for can't see the font pattern clear enough or enough of it, but the pattern may be "Grape Band" by Bryce, Walker and Co. of Pittsburgh. Bryce's "Grape Band" seems to have all the grape leaves alternating between pointed up and pointed down. If your leaves are all pointed down then probably isn't by Bryce, but possibly a variant of it. Bryce's "Grape Band" was patented by John Bryce on Oct. 19, 1869. Bryce also made tableware pieces in the same pattern. It was a mold-blown font. Bryce's "Grape Band" font is pictured in Thuro's "Oil Lamps," p. 95 on an Atterbury clear Prism design base and p. 173 on an iron stem. It is also pictured in Thuro's "Oil Lamps II," p. 28, on a grayish large Atterbury #40 Baroque base. Here is the patent:</p><p><a href="http://www.google.com/patents/USD3716" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.google.com/patents/USD3716" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.com/patents/USD3716</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Glassware in Bryce's "Grape Band:"</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.tv/sch/i.html?_odkw=grape+band&_sop=10&_osacat=50693&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XBryce+grape+band.TRS0&_nkw=Bryce+grape+band&_sacat=50693" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.tv/sch/i.html?_odkw=grape+band&_sop=10&_osacat=50693&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XBryce+grape+band.TRS0&_nkw=Bryce+grape+band&_sacat=50693" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.tv/sch/i.html?_odkw=grape+band&_sop=10&_osacat=50693&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.XBryce+grape+band.TRS0&_nkw=Bryce+grape+band&_sacat=50693</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The scalloped base with reeded stem is called a Baroque base.
