[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 4131241, member: 8363"]Thanks to [USER=125]@wiscbirddog[/USER] - the mystery is solved. It is clearly a Hobbs Dew Drop vase. When I search for hobnail Vaseline glass vases, my screen fills with Fenton. This 6 inch tall yellow and opalescent colored hobnail vase has a deeply indented polished pontil scar, which to my understanding is not a Fenton characteristic. So I need help finding the maker. Other helpful, I hope, observations are: [LIST=1] [*]The top ruffle is not Fentonesque, as I know it [*]There is a clear rim on the top [*]The hobnails are not rounded, but pointy [*]The base has a ring of hobnails on which the vase sits [*]There is an inner ring of hobnails around the pontil scar [/LIST] Any thoughts, comments or ideas appreciated.
