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 [...]

Royal Lace is a beautiful pattern that has the best elements of depression glass – gorgeous colors, lovely design, an array of interesting shapes and pieces. Hazel Atlas made this pattern from 1934 to 1941 in pink, green, clear and some cobalt blue. The cobalt blue didn’t come out until about 1938 while green, pink [...]

I’ve read that frosted depression glass was not popular during the 1970s and 80s when collecting this glassware took off. That’s hard [...]

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 [...]

Did you tilt your screen to see this right side up? One of the hallmarks of depression glass is that it’s, let’s be nice here, not perfect. Most pieces have little blobs or glass or odd lines or raised seams or yes, wobbly stems. This sherbet is depression glass but it’s an odd pattern, Diamond [...]

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 [...]
