Black Amethyst plinths very popular in the
1910-30's.
Several companies created them for their higher end art glass lines including Beaumont, Cambridge, Co-Operative Flint, Dugan-Diamond, Fenton, Imperial and Tiffin. Most are difficult (if not impossible) to determine a manufacturer though there are subtle differences on some designs which can help. This piece has three evenly spaced steps above between the rest and three feet. The most Fenton plinths are of the same design and some Northwood.
