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 [...]

I’m a little late for Pink Saturday this week – it’s been one of those days. Thanks for stopping by! Our flower decorated pink depression glass console bowl is perfect to add pink. Console bowls are showy and easy to display in your dining room or on that hallway table. They fill in those awkward [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

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 [...]

Do you like pink depression glass but aren’t sure how to use it? The serving bowl featured this week for Pink Saturday makes that decision easy. This is the serving bowl in American Sweetheart pink depression glass from MacBeth Evans. More people enjoy American Sweetheart than almost any other depression glass pattern – it is [...]

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 [...]
