Need Help With Pressed Glass Pattern
« on: March 27, 2012, 01:37:14 pm »
I've been looking at alot of pressed glass and haven't been getting anywhere. It measures just under 11" wide and 3.5" tall. I was hoping someone would recognize this pattern or be able to point me in the right direction. Age? Maker or country of origin?

The pattern is called Hobstar and Shell. It was a popular pattern for carnival glass as well as clear. Put the pattern in Google and you will see a few examples.

I searched and searched using hobstar and shell and was getting pretty frustrated because I couldn't find it or really anything close. Today I was searching for flower pattern cut glass and sure enough up pops a picture of a smaller but identical pattern hobstar and shell pattern bowl. The ad I found didn't say who made it just it appraised for $100-$150 so they were asking $125.
