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.
