c 1908 Green Opalescent Jefferson Glass Many Loops Bowl

This green opalescent ruffled bowl is a gorgeous example of Jefferson Glass Company's Many Loops pattern, circa 1908. According to the "Standard Encyclopedia of Opalescent Glass," this distinctive design of "spirograph-like pattern of overlapping loops, bordered by zig-zag threading" was listed as pattern #247 and is found in crystal as well as opalescent colors of white, blue, and green.

This antique ruffled edge bowl is in a delicate green, which I have shown against both a black and light-colored background. Measures approx. 8-1/2" in diameter and 2-3/4" at the highest point. In very good condition, with one entrapped bubble noted in the base collar, and a straw mark and wisp of opalescence in the bowl's center; no nicks, chips, or cracks.
