That was a good question and I didn’t know the answer. Time to get out the black light. Oops, no batteries. Found the [...]

I really like Lancaster Glass. They made the most of a very few shapes, most with curvy rims and scallops, in pink, green and topaz yellow. The bowl shown here is Lancaster’s Cane Landrum pattern. I got it when shopping with my daughter. We’d gone to several old junk stores masquerading as antique malls and [...]

I came across this pretty little piece of depression glass when I was getting some Dogwood out to wrap and ship to a customer. This is S Pattern or Stippled Rose Band from MacBeth Evans. S Pattern is like Dogwood in shape and feel with thin glass and a delicate pattern on shapes that are [...]

This pretty grill plate shows off one of my favorite depression glass patterns, Cameo from Hocking Glass. Cameo has an interesting story behind it. Monongah Glass made a beautiful etched pattern Springtime, with a dancer in a frame surrounded by swags that was true elegant glass – lots of hand work, quality crystal, the works. [...]

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 [...]

Yellow must have been a popular color during the depression because depression glass manufacturers made several patterns in yellow and makers such as Fostoria did extensive lines in topaz. So what’s the right name for this color? Is it yellow? Topaz? Canary? Vaseline? Yellow is certainly the color name. Hocking called their Cameo and [...]
