rosevelyn Posts: 4 Registered: Jul 2006	posted 07-05-2006 01:15 AM [26-1131] I have a bowl with grapes that has a mark of W with a wreath around it and the number 2142. It belonged to my aunt and do not know anything about it. Do you? ------------------ Rosie IP: Logged

rosevelyn Posts: 4 Registered: Jul 2006	posted 07-05-2006 10:59 AM I do have photos--just not aware of posting them up according to the directions. I do see that you have hit it right. It is Woodside. Does reticulated mean that the design is raised? I have a dish/bowl that is 7 inches in diameter and has a grape design. It's in fantastic shape. ------------------ Rosie IP: Logged

I think the term you are thinking about is repousee which is where a design is raised up on one side by pressing or hammering the metal from the opposite side. IP: Logged
