Hi..Does anyone know about Morgantown glass. I have some dessert plates and all of them are a little rough around the bottom rim. Is that something Morgantown is known for? Also, if anyone has a Morgantown book, can someone tell me when these were made. The plates are Queen Louise. Thanks so much for any help anyone can provide.
I did not find information on that from Morgantown but I have seen other glassware that were similar !! Sometimes there is a tiny ridge of glass that is slightly above the foot !! Like you said it is not that noticable but you can feel it when you rub your finger around it !! It would be a mold problem when it was made !! Occasionally this problem is ground down before selling depending on how bad it is but not always !!
Thanks for the dates !… The rim that the plates sit on is a bit rough. You can’t see it, but you can feel it. It certainly isn’t bad enough to cut you, but I want to sell them and I want to list them without having to mention flaws, or at least being able to say that this is a common Morgantown thing or a common thing to find on glass of this era. I just don’t know that much about glass. I am more of a pottery person.
Do you mean the foot ?? The rim on the back ??
Well,, I do not have a book on it but the National Depression Glass Association had a bit of info on the Queen Louise stemware !! The plates would have been made around the same time !! The Queen Louise stemware was introduced by Morgantown in 1928 as part of the #7614, Hampton stemware line !!
