I picked up a very cool amber glass console dish (abt. 12 inches round) that after searching all evening, I believe that I have properly identified as Cambridge Glass Co. in the "715 Willow or Blue Willow" pattern. It has the blue willow doves, three men on a bridge, and boat scene in the middle, and the same scene repeated around the perimeter of the dish three times. The dish has about a 1 inch deep "bowl" that has a very detailed etched trim.
I am frustrated by being unable to find other similar pieces to get an idea what value, if any, that others believe that their own dish is worth. I saw only one in an online auction, but it was painted or otherwise had additional "bling". The one that I have is simple and in great condition with the exception of a few scratches on the bottom. Any thoughts on value? Otherwise, I will use it and enjoy it in my kitchen as a fruit bowl!

Re: Cambridge Glass Co. Amber Console Dish 715 Willow or ...
Hi- I recently sold a depression glass console bowl with matching candlesticks and it was suprising how little they go for these days. I think they have gone out of fashion and the market is not hot for them now. The one I sold, was not in this pattern but it was in mint condition with very thick gilded border on all 3 pieces.. I think I only got $30 for it. I have searched etched console bowls and found none in a similar pattern , like you, but it appears that etched cambridge glass console bowls are going in the range of $30- $50 for nice one....which I would consider yours to be. I am not an expert , but I know that somthing is only worth what somebody will pay....and people just are not paying a lot for console bowls these days....it is sad since pieces like yours are so beautiful.
