Antique EAPG US Glass “Oregon” Beaded Loop Berry Bowl (c. 1901) | Rare Mint No. 15073 | 4.5” States Series Sawtooth Rim | Edwardian Pressed Glass Survivor

A Shimmering Survivor from the Edwardian Era (Circa 1901)

Hold a piece of American industrial history in your hands. This exquisite antique berry bowl is not merely a vessel; it is a 120-year-old survivor from the "States" series produced by the celebrated United States Glass Company at the turn of the 20th century. Known officially in catalogs as No. 15073 and to collectors as the "Oregon" or "Beaded Loop" pattern, this piece represents the pinnacle of Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) design.

The Design: A Study in Light and Texture

The "Oregon" pattern was designed to dazzle in the flickering gaslight of Edwardian dining rooms. The bowl features bold, clear oval "jewels" (bullseyes) that act as windows into the glass, framed elegantly by sweeping loops of intricate beading. Between these loops lies a masterclass in texture: fine-cut stippled diamond panels that catch and refract light, creating a diamond-dust sparkle that rivals cut crystal. The design terminates in a delicate, scalloped sawtooth rim—a feature notoriously fragile and almost impossible to find intact today.

Why This Piece Commands Premium Value

To find an EAPG bowl with a sawtooth rim in Mint Condition is exceptionally rare. The jagged teeth of these rims were prone to "fleabites" and chips simply from being stacked in cupboards or washed in porcelain sinks over the last century. This bowl has defied the odds. It remains virtually untouched by time, retaining the crisp definition of the mold and the brilliant clarity of the original glass formula.

Authentic lineage: Part of the highly collected "States" series (1901).

Pristine Preservation: Free of the common rim roughness that plagues 99% of surviving examples.

Versatile Beauty: Perfectly sized at 4.5" wide x 2" tall, ideal for display, serving distinct condiments, or holding precious trinkets.

Collector's Note:

This is an investment-grade example of American pressed glass. Whether you are completing a "States" collection or seeking a singular, flawless accent piece for a curated home, this "Oregon" bowl offers the rare combination of history, beauty, and impossible condition.
