Thanks to all for help with identifying this piece as Westmoreland. Now, can anyone help with the pattern? I've "googled" and checked reference books at my library...all to no avail. I thought it might be "Sunflower" but my piece looks different than pieces identified as that pattern. Thanks for help...as usual!

There are a whole lot of Westmoreland sites on Google. If you search them you might find out the name of your pattern, if it is indeed Westmoreland.
The Sunflower pattern I'm familiar with was mainly on footed cake plates given out as a premium. Depression glass.

"Princess Feather" is the pattern. From the color, it appears that your item is part of the line reissued in the 1960's. The amber 60's color was called Golden Sunset which was not among the original colors first made in the Depression Era.

Thanks, KatyD...and the rest too! It's so hard finding pattern names...The books I have access to in my local library have lots of photos/items...but they're alphabetical and listed by pattern name! So, if you don't KNOW the pattern name, it's almost impossible to find it. I did go through one book page by page looking for a similiar pattern. So, I do most sincerely appreciate the help!
