Last post I showed you MacBeth Evans luscious monax translucent white depression glass. They used Monax for American Sweetheart and Petalware where the pure white looks stunning. Besides monax MacBeth Evans developed a creamier, almost beige colored glass during the depression they called Cremax or Ivrene. Usually the Ivrene refers to the darkest shade, which [...]

I’m not a big fan of white as a color but I’ll make an exception for monax depression glass from MacBeth Evans. I love this glass. It’s thin and opalescent on the edges and the color is soft white that invites you to touch it. MacBeth Evans used monax for American Sweetheart and Petalware in [...]

Today’s a retrospective of three tables using American Sweetheart soft white depression glass. American Sweetheart is exquisite, lots of scrolls and swags, scalloped rims and the most glorious pure thin white glass. Which table do you like better? First one combines American Sweetheart with pink Windsor. This table looked so-so on a cloth but [...]

Thank you for visiting with us this Thursday! If you’ve read my recent tablescapes you’ve seen that I’m playing around with mixing and matching different glass patterns. It’s fun. Since most of us don’t have complete sets of vintage glass patterns, it is real to life. Today we’re using three patterns that play well together. [...]

I believe you will enjoy vintage glassware on your table even if you have just a piece or two. Most of my glass customers buy pieces to add to what they got from family so they have enough to use. Many combine patterns and colors and use what they love, whether it is all [...]

It’s just like high school. There are the belles of the ball, Mayfair, Cameo, American Sweetheart and Sharon. There are popular kids, Floral, Georgian, Petalware. Then there are the neglected ones, the ones that are charming and pretty, that just don’t have a big fan base, like Stippled Rose or S Pattern depression glass. Stippled [...]

Today’s tablescape is is one of those things that sounds like a great idea in the middle of the night that isn’t maybe quite so wonderful when you’re actually awake. Does your subconscious play tricks on you too? The dishes are American Sweetheart, a gorgeous depression glass pattern here in soft pure white. I’m not [...]

We had company visiting this week and went antiquing several days. (I’m antiqued out!) Most days we found a few pieces of depression or elegant glass in patterns I carry in my store, which makes the trips satisfying as well as fun. I got three more American Sweetheart pink cereal bowls like the one pictured. [...]

A lot of depression glass patterns included tidbits in their line up which were meant to be fancy serving pieces for little cakes, tarts and candies. People use these for weddings, showers and open house type events where guests can serve themselves. The tidbits look special and make even store-bought cupcakes look great. Recently I [...]
