<p>[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 2922165, member: 11100"]Thanks for providing the link. The photo from above does show the same design. Wave Crest pieces don't necessarily have a pattern "name", but rather first identified by the shape of the piece (mushroom/petticoat, Helmschmied Swirl, puffy egg crate, Bishop's Hat, etc.) and then further described by the design/appearance. Sometimes there are named collections of differing pieces/uses with the same design. Any marking on the bottom of your piece would be very helpful confirming it is Wave Crest, and not a piece of one of the other makers. Further complicating things, a few Wave Crest pieces are not marked, so another avenue to confirm is necessary (like found in one of the resources I posted with the notation that it was never marked.) See if you can find those photos or if the piece is accessible, retake and post.</p><p><br /></p><p>I looked carefully through the pages of my books, and this particular design didn't jump out. I'll give it one more pass through each before I tuck them away.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
