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 [...]

This Pink Saturday shows a special offer on one of my favorite depression glass patterns, Dogwood. I’ve read that the Dogwood 8 inch lunch plate is one of the easiest to find pieces of pink depression glass. That may be – at one time I saw a LOT of them – but lately depression glass [...]

Last post I showed you MacBeth Evans luscious monax translucent white depression glass. They used Monax for American Sweetheart and Petalware where the pure white looks stunning. Besides monax MacBeth Evans developed a creamier, almost beige colored glass during the depression they called Cremax or Ivrene. Usually the Ivrene refers to the darkest shade, which [...]

I’ve shown you a lot of pink lately. Pink Mayfair, pink Sharon, pink Princess. Let’s enjoy sunshine yellow for a change. This is the Princess topaz yellow cup from Hocking. Hocking produced two distinct shades of topaz, this yellow and a gold toned apricot color that is darker. Today, 80 years after, no one quite knows [...]

You’ve seen pretty Princess pink depression glass here before. I showed it off in a tablescape plus individual pieces for Pink Saturday. I realized that this neat serving bowl never got its place in the sun so… ta da! The Princess octagonal serving bowl makes its debut on Pink Saturday. Princess plates and bowls are [...]

Who made me? I’m pink; I’m a small bowl all crimped and pretty; my base rim is ground and my pattern name is Georgian. Isn’t this pretty? Such a luscious color of pink and just the right amount of ruffles. Sadly, it is a mystery piece. I don’t know who made it. Both Cambridge and [...]

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 [...]

Bobbie sent me an interesting email asking for advice on evaluating her Royal Lace blue depression glass. Blue Royal Lace is one of the most popular – and expensive – depression glass patterns. I get emails every week asking: ”What is my glass? How much is it worth? How can I sell it?” It is [...]
