Glass molds are usually bought by other companies after a company goes out of business. This is true with Higbee molds, so just because something is marked with the Higbee bee mark, doesn’t mean it was made by Higbee.

It looks like the pink creamer and sugar set shown above is the pattern originally made by Higbee, called Paneled (sometimes spelled Panelled) Thistle.
Search on the “e” site for “Fenton Wright Thistle” and you should find a piece over there that has some good info about this pink color and the thistle pattern.
I can’t offer much on [URL removed]

Are these marked with the Higbee bee mark?
This site has some info on Higbee carnival/iridized pieces, and there is a contact link near the bottom of the page.

the double open handled, covered sugar bowl is “open rose”
the taller one may be “arrow head” i’m not positive

Research everywhere you can on the internet….Replacements.com, TIAS.com, GoAntiques.com, Kovels.com, Google Search, Check auctions with ebay or wherever you find matches with other sellers, the library is a good place to find books to use on pieces for researching, and so on. There are many many places out there, and yes it can be time consuming. But, it also is rewarding to learn about the pieces you have, the history, the patterns, the years for them, and etc.
