No way,don't breakup a set.  Just because it's called a berry set, doesn't mean you can only serve berries. How about chips in the big bowl, dip in the diamond, indiv. bowls.  Or, Ice cream,nuts,choc sauce, candies, bananas, whipped cream...need more bowls!  I think, due to its' rarity and completeness it would be worth $100. at a tag sale. Make sure it's advertised.

Thanks for that guidance, vicki.

Well, it's beautiful. I think I would put the berry set seperate from the diamond candy bowl. Maybe $40 for the Berry set and $10-$15 for the diamond? And, be sure to advertise "rare" EAPG glass.

The thing is you can always go down in price, but you can't go up. I always price for estate sales at about half of retail value, I then expect to get half of that price. It seems to work.

I have a Hobstar and Feather berry set - 6 small bowls, a larger serving bowl and a diamond-shaped bowl. I plan on putting these out fro my next garage sale. I saw on this web site that this set is worth over $200.

I know I can't get that price at a garage sale venue. What would be a reasonable price to ask?

I think it looks etched because the parallel lines are cut so close together.

Now Lillian - that is CUT GLASS! Be sure to note the difference between this pitcher and your EAPG bowl. Also - This piece has etched florals. This idecates to me that this was made after the "AB" (American Brilliant" )period. Probably 1900 - 1910.  It's very difficult to identify cut glass patterns, as there are hundreds of patterns and many, many companies that did similar or sometimes near identical patterns. So, I'll take your word for it! It's lovely, But they are hard to sell and don't go for very much right now. Perhaps $35 - $50.

I have tentatively identified this 11" tall pitcher as Pierpoint's "Viscaria" pattern. Can anyone confirm that? Thanks.
