August 24th, 2011 @ // 4 Comments

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 [...]

Salt and Pepper Shakers Lids, Repros and Depression Era

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 [...]

Floral Poinsettia Pink Depression Glass Tablescape Thursday

Here’s an all-pink table for those of you who love this color (and that is a lot of you!). I like the way the pink glass pulls together a table, it’s almost effortless. You don’t need a centerpiece or much else to make a table with all pink depression glass sing. This is one of [...]

Homey and Pink – Homespun Depression Glass – Pink Saturday

Homespun. Doesn’t that make you think of Little House on the Prairie and pioneers?   Here’s a new way to think of Homespun:  pink depression glass from Jeannette. You can see the pattern is different from Jeannette’s other depression glass designs.  Homespun has thin ribs and a waffle texture on the centers.  The ribs do look a [...]

Dancing on the Green – Cameo Depression Glass – Tablescape Thursday

Has it been hot where you live? We had a couple weeks of 90+ degrees, 90% humidity and no air conditioning. It’s time to cool off with a green depression glass tablescape, this one featuring my favorite Cameo. I love the pattern with the dancer reaching for the sky. It radiates hope. I used the [...]

Depression Glass Information and Misinformation – Georgian Lovebirds

Is this Georgian Lovebirds saucer real depression glass or is it a repro?  It is not marked. This next saucer is marked. I have Georgian cups, saucers and sherbets with the Federal F in a shield and without.  Are any reproduced? There are web pages that claim that any unmarked Federal piece is a repro. [...]

Dogwood Pink Depression Glass Cup for Pink Saturday

Our daughter, who is my favorite antiquing buddy, has been home the last couple weeks giving us time to go to all the area antique malls. We had a lot of fun but we didn’t find much glass. Every time we go I am shocked at how little glass we find. We saw a few [...]

How Did Glass Patterns Get their Names? Pink Saturday Adam’s Rib

Don’t you wonder how glass companies came up with the pattern names they used?  Some are obvious, like Miss America or Queen Mary.  Some match the pattern with the name.  Think of Block Optic.  Or Adam’s Rib, like this pink candy jar. Diamond Glass made Adam’s Rib in the late 1920s in a rainbow of [...]
