Sugar Bowl patterns Posted by Frank Stefano on May 25, 2024, 8:56 pm I have just bought a deep B&W Transfer ware Sugar Bowl and am trying to search for pattern. The piece is unmarked but has both a bird and pagoda on it - can anyone tell me how to limit my search for only Sugar Bowls which should narrow down the potential search a lot iin my opinion email: stefano@san.rr.com Thanks

Re: Sugar Bowl patterns Posted by Web Administrator on May 27, 2024, 3:04 pm, in reply to "Sugar Bowl patterns" Frank, I would not search by shape, I would search by pattern, as patterns often were applied to multiple shapes. A search on the Internet is not likely to result in identifying a specific pattern. Your best bet is to use the TCC Database of Patterns and Sources, through our web site. If not a member, you can purchase 24 hours access for just $10.00. Search for predominant features, maker, if known. Why not post an image(s) including the base, if marked, to this Message Board? We might be able to assist you.

Re: Sugar Bowl patterns Posted by Web Administrator on May 27, 2024, 5:15 pm, in reply to "Re: Sugar Bowl patterns" Yes, it can be difficult. We provide as much information as we can. Sometimes searching can be quite a slog. Keep in mind, also, that not all patterns are yet to be entered to the DB. If you have suggestions or questions, you can contact the DB General Editor through the website Contact Us feature. I assume you are referring to Pictorial Souvenirs & Commemoratives of North America 1976? We have it in our personal library. It has been used as a reference in 24 of the DB entries.
