Glass Shard Identification-McKee Innovation Bowl

I recently dug up these shards in one of my favorite dumpsites.





I don't know much about glass besides depression glass, so I assumed that it was EAPG, but I still wanted to figure out what it belonged to. I noticed the etched flowers and the peg foot, and concluded it was a bowl, so I searched "EAPG etched flower footed bowl" or something along those lines. After a little research, I ended up finding an almost perfect match. The feet on the bowl I found are a little longer, the bowl looks deeper, and the middle of the flower is etched as well, but it still looks like the same type/design.
Below is a picture of the bowl.

It turns out this pattern is called "Innovation", and was produced by McKee from 1916-1920. The bowl has a sawtooth rim and the glass is very thick. The flowers and buttons and petals make the bowl look so beautiful!
Thanks for reading!

  2. This bowl is absolutely beautiful! I love the detail. I think my grandma actually has a very similar dish. I wonder if it was her mother's? The time frame would then be about the same as the one you found.
