Here's another posy vase that needs ID please.  I'm not sure what the yellowish staining is from - just dirt I hope (haven't cleaned it yet!).  The pattern alternates between 4 wide double ribs and 4 'hobnail' type areas with a star at the top of each.  The base is a chequered pattern.

It is about 4" wide and about 31/4" high.

Can anyone ID it?  Thanks.

Nancy

The color looks like American Depression glass pink. That hue stands out. That color is very hard to miss. Hope this helps you : )

Thanks for that Rose!  I'll look in that area.  By the way, the 'yellow staining' turns out to be a band of iridescence, so that should be useful too.

Many thanks for looking.  :)
