Thank you! I like your rose bowl too!! Gives me a few ideas on where to continue looking..Thanks again!
Well,from everything i see,,MOST seem to think Piasa Bird pattern is from Sowerby Glass,if they say a maker at all..Sounds good to me>>>Thanks again!
Pattern is most likely not English in origin, as the Piasa Bird (which this figure is undoubtedly is meant to represent) is a Native American legend. The edges of this pattern invariably have a thin ring of non-opalescent glass, which is not typical for English opalescent glass, and I must say I find this characteristic on a lot of opalescent glass by Jefferson.
Thanks Paula..I do see quite a few attributed to Jefferson also..
