Does anyone recognize this glass?
There are a few examples on ebay, but in each case that I've found, nobody can identify it. I ask because I have a few pieces which I really like, and would like to buy some more, but don't know how to search (I found these ebay items more or less randomly). I wasn't even thinking that it was Eames era until I saw these ebay ads - and I still don't really know. I just like it (I have 4 pieces).

1. Not really my area of glass expertise but,
if there are no mold lines, this is probably Elegant glass, Elegant glass is fire polished to remove mold lines...pressed glass does not get this same treatment. It resembles Fostoria's Century pattern but is not quite a perfect match. Tiffin, Cambridge, Heisey, and Westmoreland to name a few, also produced lines of Elegant glass.

I have seen this glass ID'ed somewhere but, after digging around in a few of the many glass books I have, I have not run across it yet.

3. There was a pattern produced...
I think by Anchor Hocking...called modern or moderne. Here is one I found searching with those key words.

I am more familiar with the carnival glass, early date-lined glass (art deco era), depression glass (my particular fondness is not in the patterns but the rare pieces in vaseline glass (like lamps, whimsied pieces etc.), and early irridescent art glass like Loetz. I have approximately 200+ pieces in my collection - this does fluctuate as sometimes I will sell a lesser piece to get a greater piece.

5. Good find (the green is really nice)
So that's then the second ebay item that suggested it was Anchor Hocking, so unless I learn otherwise, I'll go with that.

Thanks!
