Description: | The seam running vertically down the centre of this dish is commonly seen in examples of pressed glass. This join indicates that the two halves of this piece were made separately. The basic colour of Sowerby's 'Opal' glass was blue. Sowerby's made variations of this including rose, which was called 'Rose Opalescent' or green, which is known as 'Vaseline'. Relatively little Vaseline seems to have been made so it is unclear whether this colour was an established trade line for Sowerby's. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | North East makers art designers made in the North East glass makers date period industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
