DescriptionColorless glass nappy. McKee Brothers' Bellflower pattern, also known as Ribbed Leaf pattern or Ribbed Bellflower pattern. Small nappy; design consists of a single vine undulating horizontally through the middle of the body with 2 bellflowers, 2 leaves, and 2 shamrock-shaped leaves. This design is not nearly as finely articulated as most of the other pieces in the collection. The background is ribbed and extends to the base of the rim, which is a 1/4" clear, flattened, scalloped band. The inside of the bowl is smooth. The base is clear with a stylized 4-part, possibly floral decoration, located inside the footring.Dimensions1.25 x 4.25 in. (3.2 x 10.8 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.
