New Foundland Dog Milk Glass

I looked all over the internet and cannot find which company produced this piece or the year of production. If you can help me I would appreciate any information I can get. If you can tell me the approximate value that would be awesome.
I really need help with the Mckee Canary piece!!!

Thank You
Jeff

McCalmley Belknap (1949) "Milk Glass" pictures this as plate 13f on page 17 amongst 23 pages of glass plates, most being open-edged or 'cut-work' as yours. Belknap names it "Woof Woof Plate", 5-1/2", (in) blue and white (meaning turquoise opaque opal & white opal -- 'milk glass' is a 20th century antique collectors' renaming of what the 18870-80's glass factories call opal glass). [But I doubt your canary yellow bird bowl -- most vaseline glass is 20th century wannabe, this bird is not familiar in the pantheon of animal forms familiar to McKee & other glassworks (though McKee does have a Dove and a Pheasant), and the base is equally unfamiliar. You indicate marked McKee - how so? What kind of wear would you expect on the base of a moderately heavy,125 year old bowl -- do you see authentic wear of that degree? -Bob
