Hobnail, Millersburg   Updated 12/4/2011

Millersburg's Hobnail is found in pitchers, tumblers, table sets, rosebowls, and spittoons. Pitchers and tumblers are quite rare--only a few of each have sold in the last 10 years. Table set pieces, which are known in amethyst, blue, green and marigold, come on the market very rarely. On the other hand, the rosebowls and spittoons show up at auction with some regularity--perhaps 4 to 6 each per year. Millersburg also made a pattern, Swirled Hobnail, that has the same hobnails but swirling lines in the background. Other manufacturers made the hobnail pattern but in shapes other than those made by Millersburg. Vases in the hobnail pattern were not made by Millersburg although they are sometimes credited to that company.

At the left is the rare Hobnail jardiniere, usually credited to Millersburg. However, some point out that it was made from Fenton's midsize variant Rustic vase mold. One in amethyst sold for $1,450 in 1997; another in amethyst brought $4,200 in 2003. In 2011, an amethyst example with a line around the base sold for $500.
