Last post I showed you MacBeth Evans luscious monax translucent white depression glass. They used Monax for American Sweetheart and Petalware where the pure white looks stunning. Besides monax MacBeth Evans developed a creamier, almost beige colored glass during the depression they called Cremax or Ivrene. Usually the Ivrene refers to the darkest shade, which [...]

I’m not a big fan of white as a color but I’ll make an exception for monax depression glass from MacBeth Evans. I love this glass. It’s thin and opalescent on the edges and the color is soft white that invites you to touch it. MacBeth Evans used monax for American Sweetheart and Petalware in [...]

Hocking produced two distinct shades of topaz, this yellow and a gold toned apricot color that is darker. Today, 80 years after, no one quite knows [...]

Soft and white and slightly translucent, this plate is Petalware from MacBeth Evans. MacBeth Evans is the same company that made Dogwood and American Sweetheart. They were one of the few companies that made full lines of white depression glass dinnerware and their monax white is the prettiest. You can see the blue where the [...]

Here is a riddle for you. What do you call a sherbet that’s iridescent and has mold etched flowers all over? This is Floragold from Jeannette Glass. Floragold fans seem split whether this is depression glass or carnival glass or glass from the 1950s. Here’s why. Pattern Motif: Flowers all over. Depression Glass style. Glass [...]

Beverly is having us do green this week for Pink Saturday. That’s a change I like – green glass is pretty! This piece is Cherry Blossom green depression glass sherbet and it’s the real depression era glass, not a later reproduction. Cherry Blossom is one of the prettiest patterns that unfortunately attracted some real scam [...]

This is topaz yellow glass week. We’re coming up to Valentines Day and before we go down the pink road let’s look at another springtime fresh color. This creamer is from Fostoria Glass and is their Fairfax pattern. Fostoria used Fairfax for a lot of their etches in the late depression era, including June and [...]

This week I’m finally listing some of our best glass, the Sharon pink depression glass collection. We bought this set from a lady who was selling off her glass before moving and I’m so glad we were able to get it. Her glass is wonderful. Take this Sharon candy jar. Vintage candy jars get nicked [...]
