The last few days I’ve gone through my older photos to write the blog posts about obscure patterns that we’re likely to see when out antiquing. (Yes, it’s finally spring and that means antique shows, estate sales, flea markets and garage sales!) One good thing about going back through older pictures is seeing something and suddenly recognizing it.
Yesterday I realized a big carnival colored bowl was really Indiana Windsor; I didn’t know that. I wonder how I sold it without a name and a very bad photo? You can read about it in this post.
The other thing I found was the name of a candy jar that Naomi P posted on our Facebook page. Naomi’s jar is a nice piece but she would like to know who made it. The photo she sent me looks vivid yellow green because she took it with black light and most green depression glass fluoresces under black light.
I was pretty confident we’d eventually find it because the shape is distinctive.
- Sharply nipped in at the top
- Angular profile, that section on the base that juts out has an exaggerated pointy shape
- Paneled sides
- Tall, tapered finial (a lesser clue)
- Round doughnut shaped wafer just above the foot (lesser clue)
This is the type of shape that lingers in my mind, just waiting for the ah-ha moment.
I was browsing Replacements for Swedish Modern and came across this pattern, Line 1093-1 from Hocking Glass.
Naomi confirmed this is a match!
