I have this nice little yellow Vaseline Glass Pitcher that I can't find in any of my glass ID books. It measures approx. 4 1/2 inches high and has a lattice type design on the top and bottom edge and the body of the pitcher has an inverted circle (coin dot?) design. Can anyone assist me with this one?

How pretty! Those concave spots on the body of the piece are nice.

There's a couple of forums at AuctionBytes and one is for glassware - and another good forum is "this week's haul & what have I got?" that has a lot of makers marks link in the first couple of pinned posts. They're not as active as we are, but they might can identify it.

it's very pretty!
I have a glass dish that's about the same color and I can't remember who it's by but I spoke with someone from the company and they said they only made that color a couple of years before the war.

CTA - I got an email from a Vendio lurker and vaseline glass expert identifying your piece: "it is LATTICE AND THUMBPRINT, made by Central Glass, circa 1886, never reproduced.". I emailed to see if he wanted to be identified and he hasn't answered back. Lord knows I don't know anything about glass other than to say it is lovely!
Edited to ad: Ok - turns out his answer was in my Spam folder..jeez! He is mrvaseline glass on ebay and says there is a website dedicated to helping people with questions about vaseline glass: www.vaselineglass.org

Oh, where did I see that before. I was trying to research something I had and kept coming up witn these. Oh DARN! It's got a very unique name. I'll see if I can find it.

Looks like it is is Lattice and Thumbprint (though the photo and lighting isn't as nice as yours)
Here's a Lattice and Thumbprint Covered Dish:
