Speed Racer Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 This 8 1/2" pressed glass bowl is a new one on me. Could it be Akro? Or did they only do childrens dishes? The colors are chocolate and red slag. Notice the long cut line (& turkey) on inside. I thought it was a very busy pattern which resembled the mibs somewhat. Enjoy.

Speed Racer Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Another view. It is unmarked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spara50 Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Pretty sure that's Imperial Glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Thank you. I've never seen this color combo before, especially in Imperial. I may have seen this pattern in milkglass before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Marbles Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 I second the Imperial call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 That is definitely an Imperial Glass pattern. Strange that it isn't marked. They were one of the first to mark their products. I'd be looking for a capital I surrounded with a "G". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 When Imperiall went out of business their molds were sold. It's possible that it's an Imperial mold and made by some one else. L. G. Wright owned some of the molds for a while. Dalzel-Viking did too and also Mosser Glass in Cambridge, Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Thanks everyone. After a lot more investigating it looks like L. E. Smith did it with McKee's 'Quintec' mold, and are calling the pattern 'Heritage'. My original interest in showing it here was due to the obvious cut-line which resembles the cut-lines we have come to know and love on some of the mibs shown here at Lou's. Since the marble companies (mostly) set up shop across from the major glass houses, then who had the first obvious cut-lines appearing on a product? Was it the fine glass houses or the marble glass factories? Can we learn more about our beloved mibs by studying both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 I forgot about L.E. Smith in Pennsylvania. They are out of business too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
