Thanks for stepping in TallCakes.
Yea, what Gillian said! Lol
Tall Cakes, those are new shades. Got this in a spider ridden and a dumptruck full of dust and droppings. Pretty sure its quite old..Thank you, didn't know it was a dome style!.
unfortunately finding something spider ridden and dusty isn't a sign of age. Yours looks possibly reverse decorated satin glass; can' t tell if hand painted or decal.

TallCakes---Fortunately for me it was my husbands GreatGpaws farm.. So I trust those spiderwebs and such.. Besides did you notice it was 1/4 " varied to 5/8 in the thickness? Also its hand painted and NOT Transferware. Thanks for your opinion. Believe when I say I have been researching this for at least 6 months. Thanks again..
the more real information (rather than anecdotal comments) is always helpful in pointing in the right direction. One can only discern a minimal amount with a couple of photos and brief description. This could be anywhere from fairly new to a hundred years old...
Tall Cakes--- Yes it is Mt washington .. It's to thick for most shades (modern and 20th century).. Perhaps when thickness is mentioned you might consider it next time if mentioned... Thank you for your thoughts..
glad you are certain it's Mt. Washington and hope you find some definitive proof to back that...
