Glass Identification - Clear with frosted stripes

Attached is a photo of my collection passed down to me from my Grandmother who lived in MA, CT during the depression. Some of the pieces have alternating single clear and frosted stripes. Other pieces have a single clear stripe and then two frosted stripes following. They all have a distinctive plain glass feel and weight and they also all have a "seam" in the stem. The piece that I think is a gravy pitcher is the only one with any other design on it.... some sort of wheat/grain design. Don't know if that's visible in the photo. I can provide individual pics if requested. Any help/information is greatly appreciated!

Hi Susan -
What an interesting looking pattern! I am not familiar with it but I will put this up and hopefully someone will come along who knows that it is! Is anyone familiar with this pattern?

This is NOT Depression Glass. That was pressed, colored. Given at the movies. This is RIBBON Glass and is a much finer glass. Both are collectible. Ribbon more desirable than Depression.

Thanks so much for your help!!!!

There is a Celery Vase c.1870 currently on ebay listed as Bakewell and Pears Ribbon Glass that looks just like your pieces and after the previous comment that it is Ribbon Glass this maybe your pattern.
