Palm Beach, U.S. Glass

Palm Beach was the US Glass grape pattern. This pattern was first produced in clear glass in the late 1800s. It is distinctive for the prominent vine that starts at the base and curves up to the top overlapping the adjoining vine. It is also distinctive for the bunch of grapes on its marie. Above are a large berry bowl and a bowl that has been whimsied into a banana bowl. It has gold trim around the edge (often referred to as Goofus). Bowls were often whimsied into interesting shapes; banana bowls, tricorner, and squarish. Many pieces are found in the color unique to US Glass called honey amber--similar to marigold but with a lustrous brown effect that looks like honey.

Compote



This is the first compote I've heard of in the pattern. It is white and 6 1/2 inches wide. It sold at a Tom Burns auction in 2022 for $70.

The small bowls are often whimsied into rosebowls. If they are cupped in far enough so that the top opening is quite small, they can be considered hair receivers. Handled table set pieces have twig-style handles and the butter dish and covered sugar have grape finials.
