I don’t know whether I should be honored or not. The nice lady who runs the Great Lakes Depression Glass Club asked me to please present a program this fall and wouldn’t I like to do one about center handled servers. After all, I wrote an article for the Collectors Journal newspaper about them so [...]

I have a confession to make. I was cropping photos for today’s tablescape of a very pretty rainbow depression glass table when it dawned on me. I used these before! That left me without photos and no time to get the glass, set the table, take the pictures and write this post. So we’re [...]

I’ve read that pizza sales go up 30% on Super Bowl Sunday. So… are you looking for a better way to serve that pizza than in the ugly cardboard box it came in? This center handled server would be a great contrast. This is Fostoria Romance center handled server on the Sonata blank, very pretty [...]

Antique glass is so romantic. You can hold it an imagine the families who owned it before you. You can think about the artisans who made the glass and about the way it was used and cherished. Plus some pieces are romantic all by themselves. This ebony black glass center handled server is a great [...]

This week I’m showing off a neat way to combine vintage china with vintage crystal stemware. If you see a few pieces of beautiful dinnerware at an estate sale there is no reason to pass them up. True, you may not be able to find exact matches but you can be on the lookout for [...]

This is really an unfair comparison! This week’s tablescape is a vignette of two serving pieces, both center handled serving trays, both Fostoria Glass, both etched with ribbons, bows and pretty flower bouquets. Which one do you like better? What a dilemma! When you go to a lunch that serves dessert – in this case [...]

Does vintage glass make a good gift? While I would like to say “Yes, of course it does (since I sell the stuff), let’s be realistic. Some people enjoy vintage crystal. Some people put it in their letters to Santa. Some people won’t like it or anything else you give them. And some folks – [...]

Last week I showed one of my most interesting center handled servers, my Imperial ebony black one with heart-shaped handle. This week let’s see another unusual one, my luscious Paden City green cupped server with art deco decoration. I found this at an estate sale and couldn’t resist.
