    I picked these up at auction today. You can see the description given. I am not sure if this is as accurate as it can be. I am not too familiar with milk glass. Any input on a possible maker or anything more to add? 20170430_182704.jpg

    Would this be considered EO Brody?

    Maybe check Westmoreland English Hobnail.

    Look at Indiana Diamond Point. I would say late 20th century not early.

    I am not sure of the distinction on how to tell which one it is. Does it come down to the base? What does he mean by strong cross-hatching?

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    It might be referring to the design of the sides. I wouldn't call it cross-hatching but am not an expert on glass.

    In looking at Westmoreland and Indiana Diamond Point I notice that Westmoreland seems to have the thicker bases like my piece.

    These people are claiming it to be Westmoreland.

    I'm not 100% convinced.
    I don't find any hex wafers, only round. Also I don't see any other items with a fluted top.
    That doesn't mean it's not theirs only that I would do a little more digging before claiming it as Westmoreland.

    This is the juice/cocktail, so maybe not the best example. Notice the round wafer with square base.

    Indiana comes to a single point in each diamond. Westmoreland English Hobnai,s have a + mark on the top of the "point". To me yours look like a single point.

    They are Westmoreland but not English Hobnail. The Westmoreland pattern name for these is Waterford. The pattern is mostly found in crystal with ruby stain. Milk Glass is fairly rare.
