What do you like to drink? Water, soda or lemonade? Milk, juice or ice tea? If your house is like mine you go through a lot of glasses during the day. There are only two of us and we fill the dishwasher top rack every day. So you go through all those glasses and it [...]

Jeannette made Doric and Pansy for just a couple years, 1937 to 1938, and in ultra marine or teal, pink and some crystal.

The last depression pattern we talked about was Cherry Blossom, which is moderately expensive, with a dinner plate costing somewhere between $15 and $35. The design shown, Swirl or Petal Swirl, is from the same manufacturer, Jeannette [...]
