I have no provenance data on this piece. There are a number of shear marks.
The item is 10 1/4" tall and 4 1/4" diameter. It very heavy for its size.
Otherwise I have no information to help with an identification.
best I can tell this appears to be Dalzell, Gilmore & Leighton's 'Serrated Teardrop', c.1903. Not many examples I can find and the drawing in one book is tiny. This emerald green glass was popular around 1900.
Thank you so much for your comments. Now I can do some real research!
I am thrilled to have a company name and pattern.
I was able to check a couple more references and feel this is the 'Serrated Teardrop' pattern. One reference had the original pattern as D79 and that the pattern was later made by Cambridge as their pattern #1602. The date for Dalzell would have to be 1899 because beginning in 1900 Dalzell became a member of the National Glass combine; so if after that date the maker would have been considered National. National Glass built the Cambridge Glass plant in 1901, but it was incorporated as an independent manufacturer, and many molds (including some from Dalzell) were moved to the Cambridge factory after 1901; thus the Cambridge attribution as well.
Thank you again for your support and comments.
I am trying to follow up with the Cambridge Glass information, but have not had any luck yet. You obviously have a much better library than I do; as well as access to more in depth resources.
