Caroline, Dugan | |
The interior smooth rayed effect (40 rays) on Caroline pieces is quite distinctive. The exterior has six open flowers, each with a leaf; six eight-point stars, each set within an ellipse, and a four-sided, shield-like figure into which each star-and-ellipse motif has been placed. On the underside of the platform base are a 10-point star, 10 tiny teardrops each set within a ray of the star, and a small "bullet" placed dead center. Bowls are found in a wide variety of shapes: crimped, ruffled, three-in-one, two sides up, one side up (hand grip), tricorner, and square. The shape seems to make little difference in the value. | Baskets, applied handle Amethyst opal, only one? 50 (2017) Peach opal, 35, 45 (both 2016), 35 (2019), 40 (2021) Peach opal, lavender tint, 350 (1997), 575 (2001) | Bowls Amethyst, only one known, 550 (2012) Blue opal, three-in-one edge, 950 (2018), rare Blue opal, high three-in-one edge, 475 (2014) Peach opal, round, 15 (2016) Peach opal, handgrip, 15-25 Peach opal, ruffled, 130 (2000), 40 (2004) Peach opal, crimped, 15-25 Peach opal, crimped square, 25-40 Peach opal, crimped tricorner, 20 (2016), 15 (2017), 10 (2018) Purple, rare Bowl in metal bride's basket Bowl, enamel decor |
