-- Pattern Details
ZZ UNIDENTIFIED No. 803 [decanter, flint, diamonds]
• AKA:
• MAKER: UNIDENTIFIED MAKER/Unknown Location (Company Operated: Unknown), Introduced: Unknown Date of Introduction
• NOTE: Paul Kirk Jr. - I find this very interesting because the pattern is very similar to Bryce, Higbee's Gem. Gem was claimed to have been a Sandwich pattern because shards were said to have been dug up at the B&S factory site. That info goes back to the days of Kamm in the 1940s and before.
But Gem was made by Bryce, Higbee & Company in the 1890s. That all didn't mesh. Seeing this decanter makes me wonder if the shards thought to be BH's Gem were actually of this pattern.
• MOTIFS: Diamonds, Xs/X in box, Zig-Zag
