Antique cobalt pattern?

Thank you! It’s a small antique cobalt pitcher/creamer 3" high – I bought at an antique auction 15 years ago and I can’t remember the pattern…. It’s like pearl necklaces hanging from a garland?

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

I agree and disagree with barntiques, lol.

It is the pattern originally known as Cameo or Ballerina/Dancing Girl. Hocking made the Cameo pattern depression glass in the 1930s in green, pink, yellow, and crystal, but they did not make Cameo items in cobalt blue.

Mosser Glass of Ohio made reproductions of this pattern, called the line “Jennifer miniatures”, and made items and sets in different colors, including cobalt.

Compare to the cobalt blue ones shown on these [URL removed]

And if you search here on bonanza for Mosser Jennifer pitcher, you will find a couple of examples in different colors.

I don’t think the pattern is as pronounced on these miniature pieces, doesn’t quite compare with the original pattern.

Hard to tell for sure

So – it’s a repro? I am so disappointed – I’m not even tell you what I paid for it 15 years ago. I didn’t pay a repro price that’s for sure!
