Background:
I have been collecting pieces of the pressed-glass pattern known as "Yoke and Circle". This photo (of an open comport) shows the pattern's design pretty well.
This pattern was produced by J.B. Higbee Glass Co. and is sometimes found with the Higbee 'bee' trademark. A Feb 1912 trade journal describes the pattern as "New Era" and states: "The decoration consists of a border of circles linked in chain form while below is an elaborate design of imitation mitre cutting." This would have been the second pattern put out by Higbee with the "Era" or "New Era" name, so I prefer to identify it by the Millard/McCain name of "Yoke and Circle" to prevent confusion.
The goblet of this pattern is shown in Millard Volume 2, plate124. It is also illustrated in McCain's -Collector's Encyclopedia of Pattern Glass, plate 23 (p80,81). Another excellent source is Bryce, Higbee and J. B. Higbee Glass by Wayne and Lola Higbee. The pattern is not shown in Kamm, Metz or Lee
