Calling All Milkglass People

So, according to my research, this is a creamer or sauce pitcher by Indiana glass in the "grape and leaves" pattern. Am I right so far? What I don't understand, though, is that I see lots of milkglass items referred to as "grape and leaves" that don't look like this. Are there many grape and leaf motifs? This item is a creamy opaque milkglass...how does this compare to the more translucent varieties? The value for something like this appears to be all over the place; the condition is as near to mint as one can get. I thought $20 was a fair price, but now that I did an Etsy search, it seems $10 is more reasonable. Bummer. All thoughts are appreciated!!

Pricing Help Please!

I loved making the custom stars from the primitive rag balls provided by one of my customers. They were hers, though. I decided, after several inquiries, to look into acquiring some rag balls of my own. I went a little crazy, and am now the proud owner of 17 of them!
~*~
Some of the balls won't work for stars at all, but I may be able to use them for another project. I can, however, make good star use of 11 of them! As far as I can tell, I can get an average of 10 stars from each ball.
~*~

The average rag ball price is about $6. The stars are 5.25"-5.5" across, with an additional strip tied for hanging. Each is one of a kind. The fabrics are antique and vintage; varied, but mostly cotton. Lots of feedsack.

So, I ask you- how much would you pay for one of these stars? Would you prefer to see them in sets, and if so, sets of how many? I am trying to set a reasonable and fair retail price because I have wholesale interest in these and don't want to sell myself short. Please, please, please leave a comment and weigh in with your opinion!!!
