Adams Tour continued...

(Click on each piece to hold it closer for a better look.)

Marigold Blackberry Open Edge Plate (Fenton)

This two row open edge plate is very rare in this color.

Amethyst Detroit 1910 Elk Bowl (Fenton)

This is the amethyst ruffled bowl (top picture) and the blue one (bottom picture).  Plates in marigold and green are known but are very rare.  This has the Wide Panel exterior.  This has been called the "one-eyed elk."

Amethyst Detroit 1910 Elk Bowl (Millersburg)

Only known in amethyst, it comes in an ice cream round shape as well as the 6-ruffled edge shown.  These typically are radium.  This has been called the "two-eyed elk."  This has the Wide Panel exterior.

Blue Parkersburg 1914 Elk Plate (Fenton)

Made by Fenton only in blue.  For some reason, no bowls are known.  This has the Wide Panel exterior.

Amethyst Dreibus Parfait Sweets Handgrip Plate (Northwood)

This handgrip plate has the typical Northwood Basketweave exterior.

Amethyst Millersburg Courthouse Bowl (Millersburg)

Here is a 6-ruffled lettered bowl, which is not unusual.  The unusual part is that this is the scarce "satin amethyst."  It is not radium but has excellent satin type iridescence.  This is somewhat difficult to see on the photo, but it is obvious when you have the piece right in front of you.

Green Marilyn Tumbler and Water Pitcher (Millersburg)

Water pitcher and tumbler are shown, both in green base glass.  No other shapes are known.  Green is most difficult to find, then marigold, then amethyst, although even that could not be called easy to get.  Named by Marion Hartung to honor Marilyn Gaida, who with her husband Ed brought many pieces to Mrs. Hartung for her to illustrate in her Carnival Glass pattern books.

Amethyst Benesch Bowl (Millerburg)

Only known in amethyst ruffled bowls.  I have no doubt that it was made by Millersburg, even though John Resnik calls it Fenton.  The exterior pattern including the rayed base plus the quality of the amethyst glass screams Millersburg, not Fenton.  It has the Wide Panel exterior.  Lettering on this piece is "The Great House of Isaac Benesch & Sons" in the center and around the edges "Annapolis, Md." "Baltimore, Md." "Pottsville, Pa." and "Wilkes-Barre, Pa."  One bowl is known with Benesch misspelled "Benech."
