Overview
A pair of Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) dishes in the iconic 'Daisy and Button' motif, featuring a distinctive yellow-green hue.
Story
During the 1880s, the American glass industry was in a 'color war,' with factories competing to create the most dazzling and unusual shades for the Victorian dinner table.
Maker / Origin
Hobbs, Brockunier & Co. was one of the most important glass houses in 19th-century America, known for their technical innovations in colored glass.
Condition & Value
The glass appears to have good clarity without significant 'sick glass' clouding. In patterns this sharp, 'flea bites' or tiny nicks on the raised points are common; their absence would place these at the higher end of the value range. Condition of the scalloped edges is the primary value driver here. This estimate is for the pair.

Comparable demand stays strongest where maker, originality, and venue confidence line up. Broader examples still trade, but the range tightens quickly when provenance, condition, or selling lane fit is missing.
