I actually bought 3 of these - very beautiful, looks like vaseline glass but not sure. Has delicate, wavy edge
What is it? Help to identify this piece? I bought it at a thrift store but have not been able to identify it. | ||

I believe it is FEDERAL gLASS
See the link below ( # 5 ) as it looks like yours. A ""ruffled candy dish in the diamond point pattern"

Thank you antiquerose!! That was very fast, and very much appreciated!
lol.....I have 2 TIER Serving tray by them...
NOTE -- ** Indiana Glass ** also did something much the same.....too.
Nice piece but Vaseline glass is yellow.
If you have an UV Light.......you can see if it glows for any Uranium ( glow ) Content. Hard to tell...??
Thanks fortapache! I am still learning about vintage and depression glassware. I have picked up a couple of older books to help me learn. But, in looking at the Federal Glass pieces like mine, and then some Indiana Glass that also looked just like it, I am really not sure if it is Federal or Indiana.
Thanks antiquerose; I do not have a UV light yet, but am planning to get one.
Hi there...i will quickly post mine from old pics, so they are not the best. They are Milk Glass. Maybe TallCakes will know as he knows so much. Maybe I am wrong, would not be the first time....LOL......and I will admit it...LOL. Does yours have dots on the bottom? maybe post some more pictures as that would help too.
Here is mine :

These pretty dishes are quite common in thrifts and at flea markets, think they also come in milk glass. As Rose says, TallCakes prob knows best who made them. :)
agree that this looks to be Federal's bonbon...
