HOBSTAR BAND (AKA) by Unknown Maker/Unknown Location (Company Operated: Unknown), c1910-15 Introduced
NOTE: Paul Kirk Jr.: It is attributed to USGCo, but has not been spotted in any catalogs. Some feel Indiana Glass Company based on similarities to other patterns. I can tell you that a celery vase in this pattern appears in a Lancaster Glass Company catalog but the base is a bit different than the actual item. Paul Kirk Jr.: Very possibly Lancaster’s ORIZABA pattern.
NOTE: Sid Lethbridge has created a chart comparison of the two celery vase patterns for us.
