I bought this at a second hand store for...$8.00

I've strained my hand searching the net trying to find a match.

Any help in ID, style, or value would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

It's hard to tell from the photos but it looks like either EAPG (early american pressed glass) or ABC (american brilliant cut) glass. Do you see any seams or mold lines? Do the pattern "lines" have a sharp feel to them? I'm leaning towards eapg. Here's a little reference to tell the difference between the 2 without me having to type a thousand words- ASK maryantiques.com GET maryanswers: ANSWER - Cut vs. Pressed Glass

Thanks Dig, I use my phone now to take pics, still learning. I'm adding two more, one from the bottom, it actually is a irregular clear window. The other is a close up of the decor markings. I think you're right, it is pressed glass. Not sure of value. Thanks again.

Just sold it on feebay for $50. Cost me $20. to ship and insure. Net $30 minus the $8. i paid. A lot for work for $22. I use recycled boxes to ship. Just FYI.

$20 seems way too high for shipping and insurance, unless you used UPS or Fedex. USPS always the cheapest unless it's an oversized item.
I also use recycled boxes myself. Straight out of the dumpster. Just doing my part to keep America "green". lol

Digg, I also thought $20 was too high. It is the same guy who mailed a book for me and it never arrived. I hope they make him sweep the warehouse...
