Take a good look at these two cups. Both are Block Optic green depression glass from Hocking but see the difference in the handles? The one on the left is called a pointed handle cup and the one on the right is the plain handle. The differences are subtle and you may be happy with [...]

What am I? That’s obvious, a vase. Who made me? Do you know? This neat vase has a loop optic that gives it a lot of looks. The color is a lovely depression glass green that looks great with flowers. This vase came from a guy at the flea market who saves glass for me [...]

Remember a few years back when teal was THE color? It’s perennially popular and it’s a good choice since it goes well with so many shades of blue, cream and green (Try adding a touch of teal to spice up peach and antique gold too.) Jeannette Glass made quite a few patterns in their teal [...]

Wow. Just got some eBay feedback love that was awfully good to see. I had some Red Wing china and sold the last few pieces a few weeks ago. Customer’s comment was “VERY PLEASED with Random Harvest cups/saucers! EXCELLENT PACKING, RECOMMEND 5*s” This was great to see since some of the last few didn’t sound [...]

Today I picked this plate to blog about by the most scientific of methods: I went to my eBay store and it was the first piece in line. Hazel Atlas’ Starlight is not quite a forgotten pattern, but it sure doesn’t get the attention and the clamor of more popular patterns, like Sharon or America [...]

I came across this pretty little piece of depression glass when I was getting some Dogwood out to wrap and ship to a customer. This is S Pattern or Stippled Rose Band from MacBeth Evans. S Pattern is like Dogwood in shape and feel with thin glass and a delicate pattern on shapes that are [...]

Isn’t this a neat piece? It’s the coaster in Jeannette’s Sunflower pink depression glass pattern. You can this was originally meant to be dual purpose used as either a coaster or an ashtray. If you were hosting a bridge party you would put matched ashtrays on the table between each player. If you didn’t smoke [...]

We call Federal’s Georgian green depression glass “Lovebirds” because it has triangles with two birds around the rim that alternate with baskets. The rim has a geometric band and there’s a medallion in the center. Now we come to this plate. Rim design: Check. Center medallion: Check Birds: Oops, no birds Yet this is Georgian [...]

Today is a good day for a fun piece. I’ve been kind of serious lately with exquisite stemware and etched elegant glass that reminds me of stately manors. Today it’s back to depression glass and a beautiful springtime green piece. This small relish is Jeannette’s Floral or Poinsettia pattern. It’s mold etched – which was [...]

We’ve looked at a lot of colored glass – blue, pink, green depression and elegant etched Fostoria – and I thought it would be a fun change to see some clear depression glass. One conundrum is what to call this stuff. My depression glass reference books by Gene Florence call colorless glass “crystal” but as [...]
