    The number of these glass items keeps growing, and they also confirm the identity as a single glass producer, by many factors. This project does not always work this way.

    I find that either the shape and size differ slightly or the fabrication is very different. That does not necessarily indicate a different producer, but it is more likely. Then I review the decors, and am left with a maybe for some items, and probably not for others.

    Because of the chaotic financial climate of this interwar period, you can expect a reflection of it in decorative glass of that period. Sales dropped drastically by 1930, and changes had to be made for a more economical glass product.

      Lovely glass collection, the orange with red spatter has a flame like appearance esp in overhead views

      Yes Newfld, kind of a punch in the eye with color. Part of their unique charm. :-)
