This Pink Saturday shows a special offer on one of my favorite depression glass patterns, Dogwood. I’ve read that the Dogwood 8 inch lunch plate is one of the easiest to find pieces of pink depression glass. That may be – at one time I saw a LOT of them – but lately depression glass [...]

You’ve seen pretty Princess pink depression glass here before. I showed it off in a tablescape plus individual pieces for Pink Saturday. I realized that this neat serving bowl never got its place in the sun so… ta da! The Princess octagonal serving bowl makes its debut on Pink Saturday. Princess plates and bowls are [...]

Princess depression glass pieces are all shaped like squares that have the corners cut off. Even the bowls have this interesting shape – four main sides and then four shorter sides – and that’s what we have for this week’s Pink Saturday glass treat. The design reminds me of stage curtains. See how the curled [...]

Sharon is called Cabbage Rose for a good reason: The flower spray is full of big, wide open shrub roses. I picked Sharon this week because our roses outside are gasping for the last breath of summer. Most years we have a big flush right before the first frosts in early October and I don’t [...]

This week we celebrate pink depression glass with this Floral Poinsettia pink footed tumbler. I’m entranced by the signature pieces of the depression era: center handled servers, console bowls, etched candle holders and these cone-shaped footed tumblers. These are just so delightful. As soon as you see one of these tumblers you know you are [...]

Our daughter, who is my favorite antiquing buddy, has been home the last couple weeks giving us time to go to all the area antique malls. We had a lot of fun but we didn’t find much glass. Every time we go I am shocked at how little glass we find. We saw a few [...]

Do you like pink depression glass but aren’t sure how to use it? The serving bowl featured this week for Pink Saturday makes that decision easy. This is the serving bowl in American Sweetheart pink depression glass from MacBeth Evans. More people enjoy American Sweetheart than almost any other depression glass pattern – it is [...]

Don’t you wonder how glass companies came up with the pattern names they used? Some are obvious, like Miss America or Queen Mary. Some match the pattern with the name. Think of Block Optic. Or Adam’s Rib, like this pink candy jar. Diamond Glass made Adam’s Rib in the late 1920s in a rainbow of [...]

What would you call this lovely pink depression glass pattern? Hocking Glass named it Old Colony when they made it back in the 1930s. Collectors call it Open Lace or Lace Edge. What would you call it? I like the design a lot. It is fascinating. Don’t you wonder how this survived 70+ years? Old [...]

Beverly gave us a new direction for this week’s Pink Saturday. In honor of our country’s Independence Day we’re spot lighting blue or red or pink this week. I chose one of my favorite depression glass patterns, Royal Lace in cobalt blue. This pretty plate is sized to go under a sherbet, perfect for this [...]
