Old Cafe Pink Depression Glass Candy Dish
Welcome to this week’s Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly of How Sweet the Sound. Thank you for visiting me.
Today we have pink depression glass stealing the show. This is the two-handled dish for candy or mints in Hocking’s Old Cafe pattern. Old Cafe is a small pattern with only a few dinnerware pieces but several attractive accessory items like this candy plate, a deeper candy bowl with lid, an oval olive dish and a vase.
You’ve probably seen look-a-likes for the vase, not exactly repros but more an extended production of this for the floral market. The design is a wide band between two narrower bands and all the bands are smooth on the inside and rounded on the outside.
Hocking made this depression glassware pattern in pink and clear and it is surprisingly attractive. You wouldn’t think such a simple design would be so effective but like most of the geometric designed depression patterns Old Cafe has little extras. You can see one on this candy dish. The ribs that make up the pattern come together on the base to make a ridged bottom. It looks great.
Buying information: We have this piece and several others in our store Cat Lady Kate’s Elegant and Depression Glass at www.CatladykatesGlass.com.

It’s the simple things that look just as pretty as the decorative ones – this is a lovely candy dish.

How lovely to see this on your blog! I too collect vintage glassware and have this same candy dish in pink, and in “clear”! Have you ever seen the chrome handle that fits this one? I came across it on the clear dish I found. I haven’t seen too many other pieces, just the sorbet which I scooped up when I laid eyes on it!
Have a great pink Saturday!
