    I have an old hobnail milk glass vase that belonged to my mother. I have scoured hundreds and hundreds of eBay listings - both Current and Sold - and have yet to find a match. Similarly, I have searched Etsy and plain ol' Google Images but I've had no luck.

    The top diameter is 3" and the bottom diameter is 2.75". It is approximately 5" in diameter at it's widest point. It is 6" tall.

    Do you have one or have you ever seen one like this? Do you know how old it is? Do you know who manufactured it? Could it be anything other than a vase?






    Thank you very much in advance for your help!
    Jane

    There are some great glassies on the board so I'm sure someone will be along with correct information.

    I have a lone book on milk glass and there is what might be yours in the back "catalog" section. I think it's meant to be part of the Smith catalog pages but it's not 100% clear to me. I do think yours looks like it might have had a lid but this was the only thing in the book that looked close.
