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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

What would you call this lovely pink depression glass pattern? Hocking Glass named it Old Colony when they made it back in the 1930s. Collectors call it Open Lace or Lace Edge. What would you call it? I like the design a lot. It is fascinating. Don’t you wonder how this survived 70+ years? Old [...]

It must be Princess week. You read about our dinner table set for Princess on Thursday and now Princess for Pink Saturday. Let’s look at a piece that was not invited to the Thursday dinner, the tumbler. Did you notice the base is squared off? That’s a different look. Plus this tumbler is flat. Hocking [...]

I hope you won’t mind visiting one of my favorite tablescapes. You see, I’ve been scrambling getting our house and garden ready for summer and somehow just not gotten new tables set to show you. (Besides, it’s been beastly hot and I melt when the weather warms up.) This is Princess pink depression glass, all [...]

Yesterday’s Pink Saturday blog post featured Fortune pink depression glass. Did you know there is a very similar pattern called Old Cafe? It can be tricky to tell them apart. Here’s the Old Cafe pink candy dish. It’s a pretty piece, low and wide with small tab handles. Here is the Fortune bowl from yesterday. [...]
