Tiffin Classic Etched Pink Elegant Depression Glass Tumbler
Thank you to Beverly from How Sweet the Sound for hosting Pink Saturday and allowing me to join the fun.
If you read my Tablescape Thursday post this week you saw a beautiful pink pitcher with a scarf-draped dancer swirling among the scrolls and swags. Today we see the matching tumblers in this pretty pink pattern.
During the 1920s and 1930s a lot of glass companies made designs that featured nearly-nude dancers or nymphs. You’ve probably seen Hocking’s Cameo depression glass and that was the poor man’s version of this delightful theme. Monongah’s Springtime etch and Tiffin’s Psyche were plate etched, similar to the Classic etched tumbler shown here.
Just seeing the dancer on this stem makes me want to grab my scarf and join in. It makes me happy just to look at it. The color is a beautiful pink, not garish or in your face and not wishy washy either, just pink.

I love depression glass. Hard to believe way back then it was given away in gas stations and for promotions. Happy Pink Saturday and Happy Valentines day too, Char

I’ve been learing a lot about depression glass by participating in some of these weekly events. I never knew they started making it during the Depression. DUH. I’t's beautiful and I really like your glass.

Happy Pink Saturday. My husband’s mother had some depression glass – we have some nice pieces, including some similar to this piece. Some are chipped … but we still keep them. Thanks, Jenn

So sorry that I missed you yesterday. It seemed like the day just ran away from me! But, with this being ♥Valentine’s Day♥ what better time for me to stop by to see your Pink Saturday goodies.
It’s been a long and dark winter up here near Canada so filling myself up with pink is my way on the weekend of chasing away the blues – not that blue isn’t a nice color, too☺
Thanks so much for sharing. After all, isn’t sharing one of life’s greatest pleasures?
♫Happy Valentine’s Day♫
