I’m not a big fan of white as a color but I’ll make an exception for monax depression glass from MacBeth Evans. I love this glass. It’s thin and opalescent on the edges and the color is soft white that invites you to touch it. MacBeth Evans used monax for American Sweetheart and Petalware in [...]

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 [...]

We’ve talked before about the way I buy glass, which is from local flea markets, estate sales and eBay. Locally I can usually find elegant glass but depression glass in good condition is getting scarce.
