Today we’re visiting one of the most unusual depression glass patterns, Dogwood by MacBeth Evans. Dogwood is well known, so why is it unusual?

Dogwood glass is filled with big beautiful exuberant blossoms and looks like a floral brocade.  It’s like someone shook their tree until all the lovely dogwood flowers fell to the ground.  Also the pieces are not all round.  Can you see the point on the left side of this cup, just above the handle?  Yes, the cup rim is slightly scalloped.  You won’t notice the scallops while you use the cup, but the add a touch of uniqueness to this pattern.

MacBeth Evans made Dogwood and like their other patterns Stippled Rose or American Sweetheart, the glass is thin and amazingly durable.   That thinness makes the glass feel delicate and special, like your grandmother’s bone china.

You can choose among many pieces of Dogwood and have fun building a small set to use for lunch or dessert with your friends.   It is one of the prettiest patterns and one you will enjoy displaying and using.

Thank you for visiting this week’s Pink Saturday and a big thank you to Beverly of How Sweet the Sound for organizing this fun event.
