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 not round.  It doesn’t photograph well and is prettier in person.  The beautiful band on the rim has roses and leaves on a textured band – thus the name Stippled Rose Band – and the center medallion is the same rose blossom, leaves on a textured circle.

MacBeth Evans’ depression glass always amazes me with how light it feels.  This dinner plate weighs about 1 pound and it’s over 9 inches across.  Yet I’ve found very few pieces of this pattern with chips or much wear.  Somehow it combines delicacy and light weight with durability and usefulness

That’s a good combination to have.

Shopping information:  We carry Stippled Rose Band in our store Cat Lady Kate’s Elegant and Depression Glass.
