Yesterday’s Question of the Day

David Adams asked for thoughts on this Steuben piece.

Shape #3348

David Chadwick-Brown responds:

David,

Thanks for the picture of the covered compote. Mine has the same two-tone coloration – top is lighter Rosaline and the bowl is darker. While they fit perfectly, I sometimes wondered if it was a later-in-life marriage.

Up front(right) is a green, hexagonal architectural tile. At the rear is what I had hoped might be a Steuben Burmese plate. It has the dimensions of others I have of the same size, but, as I believe I explained in an earlier picture you had taken, there is no record that plates were among the Burmese pieces, according to Rakow records. The late Marshall Ketchum could find no evidence that the technique was made in plates.

The bottle in the right rear is the one I was commenting earlier, in response to the person who had made a purchase and wondered if a similar bottle could be Steuben. It is the Brownish-Yellow Gold Ruby (gold and iron) mentioned by Gardner, and may be a color/process made only in reeded bottles.
