Welcome to this week’s Tablescape Thursday with a retro table in pink and clear. Isn’t it pretty how the pink depression glass picks up the pink in the vintage bird figurine planter and contrasts with the depression goblets. Here’s the centerpiece – my favorite little bird and the Petalware pink creamer and sugar. Did [...]

Today’s tablescape is is one of those things that sounds like a great idea in the middle of the night that isn’t maybe quite so wonderful when you’re actually awake. Does your subconscious play tricks on you too? The dishes are American Sweetheart, a gorgeous depression glass pattern here in soft pure white. I’m not [...]

Are you ready for a romantic flowery table in pink depression glass? This pattern is so beautiful. Dogwood flowers bloom lavishly all over the plates and make a restrained bouquet on the tumblers. The Dogwood dinner plate is a great size at 9 1/2 inches, because it is smaller and easier to work with on [...]

We had company visiting this week and went antiquing several days. (I’m antiqued out!) Most days we found a few pieces of depression or elegant glass in patterns I carry in my store, which makes the trips satisfying as well as fun. I got three more American Sweetheart pink cereal bowls like the one pictured. [...]

Today we’re visiting one of the most unusual depression glass patterns, Dogwood by MacBeth Evans. Dogwood is well known, so why is it unusual? Dogwood glass is filled with big beautiful exuberant blossoms and looks like a floral brocade. It’s like someone shook their tree until all the lovely dogwood flowers fell to the ground. [...]

Isn’t this pretty with the band of stylized flowers and trailing leaf swags? This pattern is S Pattern, called Stippled Rose, and MacBeth Evans made it from 1930 to 1933. From what I’ve read, collectors sought this glassware when depression glass collecting first became popular, but it is not so well-known today. Like most [...]

A lot of depression glass patterns included tidbits in their line up which were meant to be fancy serving pieces for little cakes, tarts and candies. People use these for weddings, showers and open house type events where guests can serve themselves. The tidbits look special and make even store-bought cupcakes look great. Recently I [...]

We’ve had a couple posts about the wonderful depression glass colors – blue, green, clear, topaz yellow and blue – and it’s time to look at white. I’ll confess up front that I’m not a big white fan. I look icky in white and it gets dirty and I’m not fond of milk glass. With [...]
