Could you please look at my auction, #1277212998 and tell me if you can what I have here? I'm sure it'll be easier to sell if I can name it! Thanks in advance.

I have some of that, it was my grandmother's she always called it Moonstone. The bumps are called hobnail. I have also heard it called opalescent moonstone.
Meant to add, do a search under Hobnail Moonstone, Anchor Hocking made a lot of it.

I would put all 3 words in my title to catch collectors who collect in all 3 catagories, "Moonstone Hobnail Opalescent Ruffled Plate" I think Fenton was a pretty good guess on maker.

THANKS SO MUCH (and I do mean to shout here)! You are all so nice to help like this.
I do have a tiny frustration in that, in revising this auction, I can't get rid of the repeated old title of the auction, down in the description. I hesitate to ask for any more help, but if someone knows how to do that, I'd appreciate it.

Hi Adele!
The Moonstone sandwich plate was made by the Hocking Glass Company during the 1940s. My set has been packed away for over a year now. Seeing your beautiful picture makes me want to find the box and get ours out before unpacking anything else! Thanks for reminding me how beautiful it is.
