DescriptionColorless glass nappy. McKee Brothers' Bellflower pattern, also known as Ribbed Leaf pattern or Ribbed Bellflower pattern. Large, high-footed nappy ("nappy" is the term used in the 1864 catalog; Welker also calls this an open compote); design consists of a single vine undulating through the body with 2 bellflowers, 2 leaves, and 2 shamrock-shaped leaves. The background is ribbed and extends to the base of the rim, which is a 1/2" clear, point and scallop band. The inside of the bowl is smooth. In the center of the interior base the collar is visible and appears to be a series of concentric circles with a hexagonal shape in the middle. On the exterior, the collar consists of slightly raised concentric circles, which sit on a ring that sits on the top of the stem. The ring wavers and attaches to the stem unevenly. The stem is flared and has 6 panels that flow into a stepped foot, which is affixed to another high, rounded and hollow foot. This foot has the same pattern as the bowl but it is less articulated.Dimensions5 x 8 in. (12.7 x 20.3 cm)
Historical NotesPart of a collection of regionally-produced pattern or pressed glass collected by donor George F. Huff's wife, Sue Huff, a member of the Pittsburgh chapter of the National American Glass Club. The collection features two patterns, Bryce Brothers, pattern #125 “Rose in Snow” and the “Bellflower” pattern. The variety in form of these two patterns serves as an important addition to our pressed glass collection.
