    Pretty, shallow blown glass bowl, 5 1/2" in diameter, cut and polished rim. Dot indentations are on the inside.

    Hobbs or ?

    Thanks!

    There are catalog pages of Hobbs, Brockunier's polka dot pattern, they show 4 and 5" nappies, but they are steeper sided than yours. I would not buy your piece thinking it would be from Hobbs, Brockunier.
    I use the two name Hobbs, Brockunier to differentiate it from its successor, Hobbs, Glass, 1888-1891. The two companies (in most cases) made different wares.

    Thank you, Cherryhill. I wasn't aware that Hobbs Brockunier and Hobbs were different. My bowl is only 1 3/8" high, and since it's a bit wider than the Hobbs, Brockunier, I'll rule that out as the maker.
