Jeannette's Floral Poinsettia Pink Depression Glass Candleholder
Here’s a depression glass pattern that has a bit of controversy about the design. This is Jeannette’s Floral, which is nicknamed Poinsettia. The design is big flowers and pointed leaves with multiple lobes, supposedly that looks like a poinsettia.
My depression glass reference mentions there’s been a disagreement over the years whether this is really a poinsettia. The leaves don’t look much like our modern poinsettias, that’s for sure.
Other observers have pointed out that the 4-part pointy leaves look like hemp plants and that the flowers look like passion flowers. I can’t comment on the first but the passion flowers don’t quite fit either.
Floral – regardless what it’s supposed to be – is a neat pattern that came in many interesting pieces such as this candleholder. It’s a relatively affordable pattern, even in pink, and you’ll find cone-shaped footed tumblers for under $25.
Right now we have the Floral pink sugar, candle and tumblers in stock.

it may be called poinsettia, but being a garden column writer as well as a consignment shop pricer, this truly is a passionflower. the foliage is DEFINITELY passionflower foliage and you can see the curly tendrils that passionflower vine uses to climb whatever it is near, plus the tall prominent stamen in the center of the flower
