I don't know, or care for too much "carnival glass" Early this morning (sale opened at 8.00 AM -- I was there) I was not too thrilled when I saw it was most all, "carnival glass" in a deep rich shade. I was first at table of it and saw this. Man next to me said when I picked it up "I think it is Fenton Glass, and not that old." Price was $22.00 I took it to the "cashier" and asked if $20.00 was OK. It was and I left the sale because I had another sale to go to. What do you think? Can someone tell me more about this?
Hmmm .... Maybe Westmoreland ?
20 bucks for naked lady lounging in a bowl....pretty cheap for the crowd I run with :-)
Kerry ... Keep your nuts in this bowl ...
Westmoreland #456 Ballerina dish, also reproduced by Summit Art Glass.
I am glad I got it for some laughs I am getting with it!! So this is a repro then? Cute conversation piece and I will keep it. One thing--is this still considered "carnival glass" and is there a descriptive name for it? Thanks for the posts, I am enjoying them!!!!!
Tallcakes... Shouldn't there be a mark ?
Nothing but a tiny bit of a silver-blue sticker upon which no text remains.
early WG glass wasn't marked and even after they started using the superimposed WG in the mid 18940s not all glass got marked; not sure if Summit may have marked their glass.
Think Summit was marked SG ?
Large S ... small g and c incorporated in S
from what I understand Summit glass often has the mark of the original maker (they bought Westmoreland molds that included a mark); they also had an encircled V mark.
So what is Sgc then ?
Eye4beauty ... That mark would be for Smith Glass Company
Thanks !!!!
hard to say on the sgc without seeing the mark. The Summit encircled V was for the last name of Summit's founders - Vogelsong.

Tallcakes ... Thanks ...
This post was the best start to my day. Thanks all!
Thanks to all who "loved this" and a hug to racer4four!!!
No mark on this at all, except a partial old sticker with no text remaining. Mystery maker then?
I want to thank all of you who love this!!!!!
Thanks to even more for love....
Nudes were really popular!!
I think she has a skirt on - don't know about the top though.
Not on hand, Consigned to a downtown shop, and sold. Had to have some vet work on my dog's eye and was trying to raise some extra money so parted with a few things.--and basically, this type of glass was not a real favorite of mine.
