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." |
