PRESSED O'HARA / LOOP LOW FOOTED BOWL, swirling opalescent turquoise blue, shallow form with six loops and conforming rim scallops, raised on a short hexagonal stem and circular single-step foot. This form was manipulated from the large sugar bowl base, which was flattened and expanded outward, and the rim turned up. Probably Jas. B. Lyon & Co., Pittsburgh, PA. 1860-1870. 3 1/4" H, 9 1/4" DOA rim, 3 7/8" D foot.
Literature: Wilson - American Glass, Vol. 1, p. 485, fig. 798. Palmer - Pittsburgh Glass, p. 185, cat. 100. Parallels Spillman - Corning, p. 245, fig. 960; and Innes - Pittsburgh Glass, p. 250, pl. 254.
Catalogue Note: This bowl has been erroneously attributed to both Bakewell and M'Kee in the past. The attribution has apparently been based on the misidentification of this as a "Broad Flute saucer," illustrated on p. 25 of the Bakewell, Pears & Co. (ca. 1875) catalogue. That catalogue page is also reprinted in Lee/EAPG, pl. 17, which is the source cited in Spillman - Corning, fig. 960, and Wilson - American Glass, fig. 798. See Stoudt - M'Kee, p. 167 for another "Broad Flute saucer" which is illustrated in the M’Kee & Brothers 1871 catalogue. This appears to be the basis for the M'Kee attribution. A search of both catalogues failed to locate any articles in the O'Hara/Loop pattern.
On the other hand, Innes, pl. 329 reprints page 14 from the Jas. B. Lyon & Co. 1861 catalogue, which illustrates a large and a small covered sugar in the "O'Hara" pattern; each covered sugar has a short hexagonal stem and circular single-step foot which is identical to the bowl above. See Green Valley Auctions, 9/28/2001, lot 341, for a fiery opalescent example of this bowl, which was not fully expanded and still showed evidence of the interior rim for the cover.
