This design is often associated with the American Brilliant Period of cut glass, which was from 1876 to 1925. The Hobstar motif itself is a star pattern with a central hobnail area surrounded by miter cuts. The Hobstar pattern was very popular during this period and was widely imitated in pressed glass. While the hobstar pattern is often found on various items like plates, bowls, and drinking glasses, it's not a definitive identifier for pieces from the American Brilliant Period, as it originated earlier and was used in both cut and pressed glass. The style is often described as "vintage" or "MCM" (Mid-Century Modern) depending on its exact origin and manufacturing date.
