Today we’re showing one simple table set with a few pieces of cobalt blue and amethyst purple depression glass. All the patterns shown are from Hazel Atlas glass, made in the late 1930s. The plates, cups and sherbets are Moderntone and the creamer and sugar are Newport. Can you see how similar these patterns are? [...]

I love love love the look of vintage table cloths but until recently the only ones I had were embroidered bridge cloths from my Mom and a very stained Christmas topper. I wanted something with more colors in it to show off my depression glass and went out special to find just the right table [...]

It’s been almost two months since I posted a tablescape with Susan from Between Naps on the Porch. We moved; most of my stuff is unpacked; I can actually see the floor and find my glass and have time to think! I missed doing these with you. This week’s table is an experiment combining pink and [...]

Welcome to this week’s Tablescape Thursday with blue depression glass on a vintage tablecloth. Doesn’t this make you feel like going outside and sitting in the rocker on the porch? The tumblers and the big creamer are Aurora, pretty design of vertical panels. The small plates I’m using as saucers are Royal Lace and the [...]

This is an interesting lot of 3 Hazel Atlas depression era shakers. The blue Moderntone ones don’t have lids. The lids to the clear ribbed set fit the Moderntone shaker bases but aren’t original. These clear shakers are marked Airko and the lids have a neat white plug insert with cork backing. The metal lids [...]

I chose one of my favorite depression glass patterns, Royal Lace in cobalt blue. This pretty plate is sized to go under a sherbet, perfect for this [...]

If you’ve joined us for past Fancy Fridays you know my method: Meander through my glass looking for something that wants to be featured. I wasn’t sure what fancy would catch my eye today but here it is, the June etched candle holder in azure blue. It’s almost 90 years since the Art Deco movement [...]

“Oh my”, you are saying, “she can’t tell pink from blue!” Actually this is a story about a blue that should be pink but is purple instead. It’s the Un-Pink. Bear with me please, this will become clear. This plate is Tiffin Fontaine etch in their coveted Twilight color. Fontaine is old, made 1924 to [...]

It’s February. Valentines Day is over. It’s still winter here in mid-Michigan – but it was sunny today; the birds were singing and it was in the 40s. I can see spring. So let’s toss off the winter blues and celebrate those early signs of warm breezes, nesting birds and daffodils peeking through the snow. [...]

Remember summer, how fleeting and warm? Here in mid-Michigan summer is long past and we’re staring winter in the face. This beautiful glass pattern is June, a perfect name for a beautiful piece that will remind you of the blue sky on a summer morning. Fostoria Glass made June from 1928 to 1944 in Topaz [...]
