Stunning authentic Hocking Glass Company 'Miss America' pattern cake stand. This piece features a distinct square top with a raised diamond point texture (English Hobnail style) and a beautiful scalloped/sawtooth edge. Standing on a pedestal base with matching diamond patterns, this clear glass version is a classic example of American Depression glass. Perfect for wedding cakes, holiday desserts, or as a centerpiece.
Key Features
Highly collectible Depression Glass pattern; rare square shape; iconic diamond point texture; discontinued manufacturing; high demand for vintage wedding decor.
Authenticity Indicators
Pattern attributes: Diamond points are geometric and sharp; the transition to the pedestal is seamless. Hocking did not typically mark these pieces with logos. High confidence based on pattern geometry.
Flaws to Note
Potential for small 'flea bites' (tiny chips) on the sharp points of the scalloped edge or diamond points. Check for surface scratches from knife usage.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage collectors), eBay (broadest reach), or Facebook Marketplace (to avoid shipping fragile glass).
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Depression Glass,' 'Diamond Point,' and 'EAPG style.' Double-box for shipping with at least 2 inches of bubble wrap. Photograph against a dark background to make the facet detail pop.
