Twirl design mystery....

I like how one can find information on the net about something and when you return you can't pull it up again.  I have a sugar and creamer, small size, that has a pattern on it that I can't find anywhere in antique books, or glass company sites.   Two days ago, I found one visual of this on the internet and they described that the glass companies had become inspired to design glass in memory of the Comet.  I thought it was Hiailey's comet, but I can't find the site again, and I know I should have bookmarked it.

They said it was a twirling comet around a star. It was a confusing description when they also showed bowls with spiral decorations that looked more like tornadoes.

The set was given to me by an older woman and man, long gone now, who my mom and dad were friends.  We visited them often on their farm and she was an avid old time gardener. I found out at a reunion the other day, that their son use to be my mom's boyfriend.  I really don't know if dad knew that but my middle name came from that boyfriend's name.  No, he was long gone before I was born, I can hear your thinking out there. I guess after having three boys, it seemed easy to tack an old boyfriend's middle name on your fourth son.

Here is the bottom view.  I have yet to find a glass book that will give one a simple vocabulary on the glass designs.  I found that they use to sell sets of  glass pieces in one box and one design is called a wheat pattern, but the star and the rosette are names that come to my mind when I look at them.  Berry sets came in a set in a box and they also had dessert sets.  I have one pitcher from that set.

I am not too concerned by all of this, I will get off the glass theme for awhile.  When I can actually find truth in books about it I might revisit the whole thing. I really am more fascinated by the history of the what's and the when's.  Oh yes, what few things that I did find, just like on the Antique's Road Show, I am not going to be rich.   Thanks for reading.......
