Milk Glass Hobnail Plates
« on: January 11, 2013, 02:03:58 pm »
Hi all :)

I'm looking for help finding the maker of these plates and, if possible, when they were produced. Nothing too exciting or interesting I'm sure, but my sister bought them at a thrift store and she's curious about them. They have a base, or foot, and are about 7 inches.

The closest footed hobnail plates I seem to be able to find are by Fenton, but they have a crimped edge.

Any help is greatly appreciated,

   Thanks!

Fenton did a plain rim and these are similar, but theirs tended to have more hobnails / dimples.

Thanks for the help all.

So probably desert plates, but we're still not sure on a maker? I would lean towards Fenton, but the only ones like this have a smaller foot and more hobnails, like Ipcress said.

Hmmm  ???

Saucers are typically 5 1/2" to 5 3/4".  Dessert and Salad are typically 7" up to 7 3/4"

I have two sets,, both are 7 inch saucers !! Of course they are newer !!  My dessert plates do not have that indent in center !!  Looks like that was to keep something centered and not sliding off !!

As far as Fenton company records I have copies of  for hobnail plates do not match your plates  
Will do some digging but so many small and almost unknown companies made milk that do not have records to date for one reason or another we may never know. Heres a list if you want to start to dig also. Akro Agate company/ Atterbury & Comapny/ Boyd's crystal art glass Inc/ Cambridge glass company/ Challinor, Taylor & co/ Coudersport Tile & Ornamental Glass co/ Dithridge & Company/ Duncan & Miller glass co/ Eagle Glass & Manufacturing co/ Fenton art Glass/ Flaccus brothers co.-E.C. Flaccus co./ Fostoria glass co/ Gibson glass/ Gillinder & sons/ Hobbs, Brockunier & co/ Hocking- Anchor Hocking/ Imperial glass co/ Indiana glass co/ Indiana Tumbler & goblet co/ Jeanette glass co/ Kanawa glass co/ Kemple glass works/ McKee and brothers/ Mosser glass co/ Plum glass co/ Sowerby & co/ Tiffin glass/ U.S. glass co/ Vallerysthal & Portieux/ Westmoreland glass co/ L.G. Wright co. to name a few  ;)
