| Octagon (Imperial Lace) Reissues, Imperial and others | |
| |
| Collectors of the classic era glass call this pattern Octagon, but collectors of contemporary glass refer to it as Imperial Lace. The reissues are seen in several shapes, including the 8-10 inch bowls and toothpick holder above. The bowl shown is smoke (Peacock), but also found in marigold (Rubigold), red, Azure Blue, amber, and white. Generally they sell in the $15 to $25 range. The toothpick holders are very common and found in most contemporary colors--some made by other makers. You shouldn't have to pay more than $12 for any color. | |

| The compote shown is about 5 inches tall (and sometimes ruffled) and found in cobalt (Aurora Jewels). They sell on eBay for $15 to $25. There is another compote in this pattern, about 8 inches tall with a rounded base to the bowl. They are found in marigold, smoke, white, helios, and amber. In marigold, they sell for $10 to $15. The cruets, about 7 inches tall, are found in amber. They sell for about $30. | There are two vases which are sometimes called Octagon or Imperial Lace. The one on the left is 8 inches tall and found only in red and pink. Red sell for $30 to $50; pink $15 to $20. The vase on the right, 6 inches tall, is sometimes called Hobstar or Lace Variant. Found in marigold, smoke, white, and amber. Marigold and white sell for about $15; smoke $15 to $20, and amber $30 to $50. |

| Several companies have made contemporary glass with an Octagon-like pattern, sometimes calling by a different name. This amethyst pitcher and the creamer and sugar in a red color called sunset were made by Indiana Glass and are named Heirloom. Auctioneers sometimes refer to such patterns as Octagon Variant. Smith also has made a similar pattern. |
