Your Sabin plate is typically called George and Martha , aka Washington. I would also put Sabin in the title. They are a popular collectable.
and you might want to check these out. I worked in an import store in 1978 and owned one of these. They are even cheaper now than when I bought mine with an employee discount!

Hi EstateSaleStuff
The closest pattern I can find to it is called Diamond Zipper. There is a piece here with a similar pattern which you can see better if you click to enlarge the pic.

Gosh, thanx everyone for your input thus far ... I had also posted the same question mid-morning today, on the Glass/Porcelain board at ebay, just in case some of their experts knew... then we went to an estate auction, got home, checked my email and found two 'pink slaps' from 2 of their board moderators, stating I am not allowed to post that kind of a question on their board, when the subject matter is 'attached' to an active auction listing ... yikes! sorry, i didn't know ... all i did was ask if anyone knew the maker and/or pattern name, (just like I asked here) .... glad YOU all are a lot nicer!!!
I think I'll just stay right here, thank you! lol
p.s. Yes, I think it's a spooner too, although I feel spooners are usually closer to 5" tall and this is 6", so maybe it is a type of upright celery .. maybe Max is out buying old glass this weekend. LOL

Sorry it took so long to reply, but it doesn't matter anyway. I have no idea what the pattern name is. I looked thru my pattern/pressed glass books and came up with nothing. I HATE PATTERN/PRESSED GLASS. Way too difficult to identify.

LOL max~!!! ... well, I *did* pick up some depression glass patterns I'm not familiar with, at today's estate auction we went to ... maybe you will help me in a day or two when I post pictures of that. ...

you're right Kiara; this looks very similar to the picture you found, except for the indentation down center of each diamond ... I like that 'cushioned' or 'quilted' zipper idea too ...
thanks everyone ... we can all now start our Thursday evening merriments. ... 4:50pm in Ohio ... Miller time.
I think I'll just stay right here, thank you! lol
