No - This is one of the fruit and flower designs by Bartlett-Collins shown here on a cookie jar. Gay Fad never decorated cookie jars and never decorated Bartlett-Collins blanks. Bartlett-Collins was a division of Indiana Glass located in Oklahoma. They had their own inhouse decorating department staffed by local Cherokee Indians. Bartlett-Collins designs are almost universally mis-attributed to Gay Fad by unknowledgeable sellers and our book pictures many such Bartlett-Collins designs. So buyer beware! Do not buy any Bartlett-Collins glassware thinking the design is by Gay Fad. It is not.

No - This is the Washington Company design called Vintage. Washington Company was a glass decorating company located in Washington, Pennsylvania and they decorated an enormous amount of Fire-King milk glass bakeware, casseroles, mugs, and bowls. The Washington Company designs are almost universally mis-attributed to Gay Fad by unknowledgeable sellers and this is the single most common set of Gay Fad mis-attributions today. So buyer beware! Do not buy any Fire-King milk glass piece thinking the design is by Gay Fad. It is not. Gay Fad never decorated Fire-King milk glass casseroles, bakeware, bowls, or mugs. Our book documents not only the Washington Company Fire-King designs, but numerous additional non Fire-King Washington Company designs that you will be surprised - probably shocked - to discover are not Gay Fad designs.

No - This is the Hazel-Atlas Blue Willow design. Gay Fad also did a Blue Willow design which is similar but not identical to this one. The Royal China Company's Blue Willow dinnerware pattern was the inspiration for both the Gay Fad and the Hazel-Atlas Blue Willow designs that decorated glassware intended to coordinate with the Royal China dinnerware.
