ROSEBOWLS of Note
BEADED CABLE in vaseline-lime green.- $10,000 - 6-23-06
BEADED CABLE: This Northwood pattern has always been a favorite for rose bowl collectors in the myriad of colors available! With 16 colors available in this pattern and shape alone, we can understand how huge collections of rose bowls can be accumulated with ease! Marigold, amethyst, green, cobalt blue, white, ice blue, ice green, teal, aqua, aqua opalescent, ice blue opalescent, ice green opalescent, marigold on moonstone, peach opalescent, horehound, and now this lime green example on vaseline base. It brought the unbelievable figure you see beneath the photo, while the Richards auction was in progress during the 2006 ACGA Carnival Glass Convention in Parkersburg, WV.

This rare White
TWO FLOWERS Rosebowl
is shaped from the 9 in. Bowl.
|
CHRYSANTHEMUM
Said to be the only one in marigold.
|
TWO FLOWERS: This Fenton pattern in white should be considered rare, whether in a ruffled bowl or the rose bowl shape. We once owned an 11” white ruffled bowl having the three scroll, or ball feet.
In the rose bowl section of our 101 site, you will locate a giant blue rose bowl created from that same mold.

Windmills included in the design rather separates the pattern from the Imperial Chrysanthemum chop plates.
This giant marigold rose bowl, said to be the only one known was fashioned from an 11” ball-footed bowl.

Giant STAG & HOLLY Rose Bowl - Powder Blue-$350
|
Lime Green HORSEHEAD-$230
|
STAG & HOLLY: Shaped from the 11” ball footed bowl, these giant size Fenton rose bowls are certainly not plentiful in either blue or marigold. Powder Blue base glass is even more unusual! We once owned a beautiful blue example while we were concentrating on a collection in this shape many years ago, but when friends from mid California visited us, and expressed intense desire to purchase it for their growing rose bowl accumulation, we yielded to their insistence.

The first was discovered in 1995 and sold for $8000 soon afterwards. The next one which surfaced brought $9000. One sold for $5500 in 1998. Aqua is another pricey color. One or two green rose bowls are known, with blue and marigold being somewhat more available. Fenton animal patterns are always desirable!

CREOLE Giant Rosebowl-$1600-7-22-06
CREOLE: This very unusual specimen would enhance any rose bowl collection, and while researching its background in preparation for bidding to own it during the 2006 ICGA Convention Auction by Seeck Auctions, Nancy and Bernie May made some inquiries of current owners. John Nielsen had written articles surrounding the large rose bowl and kindly forwarded copies for study. Nancy very thoughtfully forwarded the information to us so that the history could be shared with our readers. This overall design has striking similarities to Cambridge production.
The Cambridge Museum is full of crystal examples in many dozens of patterns, although they did not iridize glass. There are records of those after-market iridizers who may have purchased some factory made crystal in this pattern, for the purpose of creating such as is described here………pointing to the fact that Grace Rinehart owns a Creole which is iridized on the outside, while the other examples have interior iridization.
It is so nice when thoughtful research is shared! In the case of this particular piece, no previous, widely distributed history of the rose bowl exists.

HOBSTAR & FEATHER Rosebowl-Vase in Amethyst-$900.
|
VENETIAN Lamp Base-Vase-in Marigold, $1100-7-22-06
|
HOBSTAR and FEATHER: Millersburg certainly capitalized on this lovely pattern while producing their crystal line, although few shapes were carried over into production of their carnival glass. These giant rose bowls have always been favorites, not only with rose bowl collectors but attractive to nearly all collectors of carnival glass. All of the examples we have seen over the years have been in the satin finish. Apparently these were not produced in the later radium finish.
Marigold and green examples can be seen by clicking on - - in our alphabet pattern index. Marigold is the more scarce color.

Marigold is the more scarce color.VENETIAN: Verified as Cambridge and seen in their factory catalogs, these vase/lamp base/rose bowl beauties are found in green and this very scarce marigold. Looking closely at the slightly cupped in top edge of this example, we believe that rose bowl collectors might also claim “rights”, for it is a fitting addition to their display.

Although the stem area is somewhat similar to that found on the Hobstar and Feather, the base appears more like the one found on the Creole. Hasty conclusions are drawn from time to time, and we believe that to be the case with this “shard assumption”!

ZIPPERED HEART-$550
|
ZIPPERED HEART Vase as seen in Imperial Catalog #104A.
|
ZIPPERED HEART: An exterior design found on berry sets in amethyst and marigold, it is this rose bowl shape which creates a stir when it surfaces. Few and far between, sometimes referred to as a vase, they are unmistakably desirable. Found in green and helios green. Imperial production of this scarce piece was apparently limited.

Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
And not only that, but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces perseverance;
And perseverance, character; and character, hope.
Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Romans 5: 1-5
