OK I know better than to buy glass stuff cause I know nothing about it but it was such a super deal that I just couldn't pass it up and I was thinking its hobstar so it should be easy ...ugh someone slap me up side the head please lol cause I didn't know there were so many hobstar patterns. I think I have this one almost figured out but I would love a expert to help me make sure. Tomorrow I'll list 5 other patterns when I get home from work that are really driving me mad. Anyone have a good site book marked on this type of glass? I think this one is a sawtooth cane zipper hobstar compote ? Am I close ? Hope the pictures are good enough to see.The zipper part comes in above the big hobstar.

Good morning roadsmith, I'm pretty sure its pressed glass,the edges feel smooth not sharp like some that was cut.It has a few air bubbles in the foot if that helps any. lol see I know nothing about glass. I was shocked that I remember hobstar . I guess I have learned a little from read the threads here everyday.

Glad I could help. Makes me feel warm and fuzzy all over.
The eBay boards have helped me several times. Some of those people have a wealth of knowledge.
