Wow, I surely overslept this morning!

@carma CARL ... I just can't get over the weather this year. You are under snow after snow. I've only worn a heavy coat 2 times this year...once simply to go to the mailbox because the wind was so strong. Suppose to possibly reach 80° today!

@amber1986 AMBER ... pressed glass and pattern glass are interchangeable words for the most part. If you say Early American Pattern Glass or Early American Pressed Glass (EAPG) that means a certain time period 1850-1910 +- . Also it refers to more than one item (usually) made in a particular pattern. The minimum is usually a 4-piece table set...sugar, creamer, butter, spooner. All EAPG is pressed glass....but not all pressed glass is EAPG. You could have pressed glass made in the 40s, 50s, 60s up to today...but they would not be EAPG.

@decoqueen JANICE ... I've never sold anywhere on-line other than eBay. Sure wish one of these alternate sites would eventually be able to give eBay a run for their money.

Well, as I scroll I see Carl answered the pressed vs pattern already. Also see where GEORGE answere @10bbg10 HELEN on the Model Flint Glass Co....so Helen you have Peerless in the wrong category by listing it in Flint. Regarding the price...EAPG is a hard sell and though very pretty Peerless is not in high demand as a pattern. I would think your price all right if it were a covered compote, but basically would expect to see it lower for an open compote ... especially when shipping costs a lot because of size and weight. JMHO.

@abzoid TOBY ... oh drat, you reminded me that I have to get a tree man out to give me an estimate for cutting down a HUGE dead tree! 🙁

I have a new little grandson that was born February 28. I'm still waiting for a picture so that I can post it. They posted one to Facebook but I don't know how to get it over to here. Hoping they send me one via email. 😀 So very happy. His name is Connor.
