Description: Sowerby made a vitro-porcelain glass with the main ingredient crylolite, a compound of hydric fluoride, water and the sodic and aluminic oxides. This made an opal glass. In addition, Sowerby added uranium dioxide to the formula to make an off-white piece that is the closest glass has ever looked as a match for porcelain. This was made for just a very short time. According to the owner of this plate, who has shown it to Raymond Slack, this is the only one in this shape that has ever surfaced in the PATENT QUEEN'S IVORYWARE. This plate glow under a blacklight, due to the uranium content. Every serious vaseline glass collector ought to have an example in their collection! This piece sits on 3 delicate little feet and is accented with a flower pattern. Both pieces are also marked with the Sowerby mark in the base. A creamer in this flower pattern with feet is shown in Jenny Thompson's book on pg. 61 and she lists the pattern as a registration group from 328740 to 328751, registered on Nov. 4, 1878.
