    • Detailed Description:
    The Gem pattern (commonly called Expanding Star) features a central 16 point hobstar which expands outwards nearly to the rim with hobstars between the points and hobstars in each tip. Gowens, Kent and Co registered the pattern in 1905. Several companies created similar cut pieces the most similar being Libbey (18 point center star). The bowl is unsigned. It will make a great addition to any ABP collection or on it's own.
