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. [...]

Wow. Just got some eBay feedback love that was awfully good to see. I had some Red Wing china and sold the last few pieces a few weeks ago. Customer’s comment was “VERY PLEASED with Random Harvest cups/saucers! EXCELLENT PACKING, RECOMMEND 5*s” This was great to see since some of the last few didn’t sound [...]

Today we’re going to have dinner for two with a small fruit cup on one of my favorite depression glass patterns, Georgian Lovebirds. Can you see the birds perching inside the triangles around the rim on the sherbets? That’s why we call this pretty pattern “Lovebirds”, there are two birds close together. The tumblers [...]

The rim has a geometric band and there’s a medallion in the center. Now we come to this plate. Rim design: Check. Center medallion: Check Birds: Oops, no birds Yet this is Georgian [...]

Thank you for visiting us today for a lunch full of sunshine. We’re going to have fun using Patrician amber depression glass for our menu of omelets, toast, strawberries and coffee. Doesn’t that sound good? See what I mean about sunshine? The amber color glows and it looks good on the white tablecloth with a shadow [...]

Depression glass is colored glass, right? Yes, well mostly. As we talked about recently clear depression glass has its own charms. Clear glass aside, when we think depression glass we think colors. And green is right up there. I did some quick checking and 21 of the first 25 patterns I checked came in green. [...]

We all know depression glass is colored glass, but if you are looking for something different then consider clear depression glass. I’m not talking about the beautiful etched elegant glass or finely molded blanks from companies like Cambridge or Fostoria Glass. This is the same mass-produced glassware we know best in pink or green or [...]

Patrician depression glass is the second or third pattern I bought when I started in glass and I’ve always liked this pattern. I like green very much and the simple shapes and designs appeal to me. Patrician comes in green and amber and was made during the mid-1930s. This is a mold-etched design, where [...]

We live in mid-Michigan and the closest flea market is in Bay City. It’s open every weekend from early spring to late fall and most years we’ve found excellent selection in April and May. I’ve bought a lot of glass there in the past 8 year and the biggest challenge was to be sure [...]
