At the Strathroy Antique Mall I'm asked "Is this Iris and herringbone pattern?" so I thought I would write an article so you can easily identify Iris and Herringbone pattern.
Iris and herringbone pattern was made by Jeannette Glass Company of Jeannette, Pennsylvania. It is glass. It has been produced from 1920's-1970's.
Iris & Herringbone is the pattern name on this crystal clear glass bowl above and it was made in 1920's and into the depression era.
Iris and herringbone has a full relief molded leaves and flowers that are iris's decorating all pieces surrounded with a fine herringbone pattern. All the bottoms have a "rayed" base as well. This pattern is unmistakeably easy pattern to remember once you see it.
They made many different tableware and other pieces like shades.
In the Strathroy Antique Mall a common question we get asked is "Is it crystal or depression glass?" Many customers call it depression glass and others call it crystal. If interested in Knowing the difference view my other blog
"Is Iris and Herringbone Crystal or Depression?" that I will be blogging shortly.
*You have to be careful of the reproduction Iris and herringbone and look for my other article on "How to tell it is authentic crystal Iris and Herringbone or a reproduction?" that I will be blogging on that shortly.
