I have seven glass dishes with no clue as to their makers. Any help will be greatly appreciated! This is the first of them; the bowl is 3" high x 10" wide at top:

Isn't this a Fostoria pattern?

Miscellany: Gee, I wish I knew! I just have these seven pieces, all very different from each other, and no glass books to look them up in. I've posted a different photo and question in the Ebay pottery & glass discussion group to see if I can get an answer for another piece I'm wondering about. I hate to bother glass people but do not intend to specialize in glass and don't know where to turn for answers.

After much study and due deliberation. I must say I fully concur with Classic. Actually, the Fostoria name floated in front of my eyes also, along with Heisy. I'll see if I can dig out my books tomorrow and look it up for you. In the meantime, maybe Max will wander in here and solve the mystery.

Thanks, Sparkz. I appreciate your help but don't want you to spend too much time on this.
And who is Max?
Miscellany: That is SO close--not quite the same, but I'm inclined to list in under Fostoria in "other" category and see if someone comes in to correct me.

I thought it was English Hobnail by Westmoreland but I looked that up and it's not the same. I still think it could be Westmoreland.

Thanks, lady! I'll do some sleuthing in Westmoreland. These pieces of Mystery Glassware are frustrating for us amateurs!

I searched ALL my reference books last nite, and could not come up with that pattern. Are you sure it's old? A picture of the base might help.

Thanks, Max. The base is pictured above, in the first photo. There are no marks. Gee, I suppose it might be newer; looks older, but what do I know?
While you're here--is there any way I could send you a couple of photos of other pieces that have me stymied? I'd be glad to send them to your e-mail if you want to give me that. Or, you can e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll send the pictures that way. Thanks for your help! Adele
