Wow. Just got some eBay feedback love that was awfully good to see. I had some Red Wing china and sold the last few pieces a few weeks ago. Customer’s comment was “VERY PLEASED with Random Harvest cups/saucers! EXCELLENT PACKING, RECOMMEND 5*s” This was great to see since some of the last few didn’t sound [...]

Right after Hocking came out with this pattern Federal Glass, a major competitor, launched their Mayfair pattern. The story goes that Federal had to [...]

Yellow must have been a popular color during the depression because depression glass manufacturers made several patterns in yellow and makers such as Fostoria did extensive lines in topaz. So what’s the right name for this color? Is it yellow? Topaz? Canary? Vaseline? Yellow is certainly the color name. Hocking called their Cameo and [...]

Reason #10: Depression glass is beautiful! The colors are entrancing, the designs are compelling. Take this Patrician depression glass pattern from Federal Glass. This has a neat design on the rim like little Vs and a center medallion that looks like a wagon wheel. You won’t find colored glass made today that is prettier than [...]

This creamer is Florentine #1 or Poppy green depression glass from Hazel Atlas. Hazel Atlas made two shape with the same mold etched flower design, Florentine #1 and Florentine #2. This is a popular pattern that I try to buy whenever I can. Sad to say, both of my last three online purchases of Florentine [...]

Eeek! Not more candleholders! Yes, more candleholders, but these tell a story. We went to a big flea market in Clare, Michigan a few weeks ago and got these candleholders. So what are they? Here’s how I identified them. First these are more likely to be depression glass than anything from the 1960s or [...]
