Description
Guernsey Glass in an Akro Agate mould is thesimplest explanation here . After the Akro Agate fire
in 1951 , the Guernsey Glass Co ended up with several
of Akro's moulds , one of which was the 6 " oval
planter mould . Owner , Harold Bennett , continued
production of this
piece in heavily modified downward
numbers . A few
planters continued to have the Akro
Bird Logo , a
few had an obliterated bump where the
bird logo
" was " ..... eventually the mould was modified
to
show the Guernsey trade mark , the B inside a
Triangle ( for the owning Bennett family ) .
With a strong light behind it , Picture 4 shows
the
" Reddish - Amber " of Guernsey's Black glass ......
Picture 5 shows the purple amethyst of Akro's Black
glass .
The 6 " oval planter in Black is very rare in
Akro , and very nearly as rare in Harold
Bennet's Black signed planters . This is a superb
example , measuring 3 3/8 " wide , 6 1/8 " long , and
standing 2 7/16" high ..... with
NO damage like
chips , flakes , dings , bruises , or cracks ..... NO
unsightly bubbles , scratches , stains , or utensil marks .
