WELCOME! Have fun diving into our vintage wonderland of treasures that'll make your friends say, "Where did you get that fabulous piece?" Happy hunting!
This bowl has a crack, but it is still a stunning piece.
Canary yellow (vaseline) color berry bowl. Pattern #88 is most often called by its descriptive name Daisy & Button. Features an eight-sided shape and an all-over daisy & button design.
The pattern was introduced in 1884 by Elson Glass and came in several sizes. Elson Glass Company operated until 1893. This link show an advertisement for the bowl in 1886. The American Potter and Illuminator, April 1886
It glows with an intense apple-green glow under UV light due to the uranium compounds that give the glass its color.
The bowl measures approx. 5" in diameter by 2.25" tall to the highest points.
No discoloration, but does have a couple of chips on the corners and a crack. There is a pressed glass seam in the bottom, that is not the crack. The bowl still feels pretty sturdy and the crack is hard to see without looking for it. In the video I run my finger along the crack to try to help point it out easier. Please see the photos and videos.
