Doesn’t this look like one of the beautiful brocade etched elegant glass patterns? It is Dogwood depression glass from MacBeth Evans Glass. Depression glass was mass produced during the late 1920s through the 1930s and was inexpensive, sometimes even given away as premiums. People could go to the movies – and spend a nickel [...]
