A Different Shade of White – Cremax Ivrene Depression Glass

Mystery in Pink – Georgian Elegant Depression Glass

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 [...]
