Topic: Wondering if this is authentic Hoffman

It has the butterfly mark, it's 2 3/4" X 2".  :bf: I've seen this girl puffing a cig in the catalog on pressglas.
Thanks!  Janice   :sn:

Same one I think seen here - No.202 (1927).

The ribbing is somewhat unusual though  :huh:

And I thought the bottom would be ground and polished and it isn't, it's pressed.  :huh:

It's definitely a strange one... Pressed is right - these Hoffmann Intaglio wares were pressed, then ground and polished after the details were acid matted. The shape, the smoking girl and the butterfly mark are all correct. I suspect it may be an unfinished piece, though it's odd in that it's been acid finished then left uncut - maybe it's one that left the factory in a worker's pocket so didn't get the full treatment?
