| These shakers are called "Tall
Cosmos", a name given to them by Peterson. In his book, he also named
the "Apple Blossom" shaker Cosmos, Short so this was to prevent confusion
between the two.
The Cosmos pattern was made by Consolidated
Lamp and Glass Co., at both Fostoria, Ohio and Coraopolis, PA. The
Cosmos pattern is one of the most collectible Victorian patterns in decorated
milk glass. An extensive line was made. However, with the exception
of the miniature lamp, no other pieces are known in the colors shown, just
the salt shakers. In the late 1890's, Consolidated made many opalware
shakers. Most of these were made in the colors shown; Blue,
Green and Cased Pink as well as Decorated Milk. Most were also made
in Pink Opalware but not sure that Cosmos has ever been seen in pink, not
cased. |
