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 [...]

This is a neat piece that’s not too common. Lancaster Glass made several patterns that look like etched glass, including this Cane Landrum design. The paisley motifs are raised to the touch – this is mold etched, mass produced depression glass. Lancaster made glass that is right on the border between elegant glass, with its [...]

You know those helpful articles with time saving tips? They always say to cook enough for meals in advance and never ever use the term “left over”? Well…. that’s what I’m doing today. It’s a “planned over”, not a “left over”. You remember the table from a few weeks ago with Cameo green and yellow [...]

Let’s set the table to look like a daffodil in spring. This rainbow table is my favorite depression glass pattern, Cameo, in yellow and green. I love how the pattern looks in green and adding yellow just adds joy. Doesn’t that dancer look like she is dancing for happiness? This time I switched out the [...]

This is topaz yellow glass week. We’re coming up to Valentines Day and before we go down the pink road let’s look at another springtime fresh color. This creamer is from Fostoria Glass and is their Fairfax pattern. Fostoria used Fairfax for a lot of their etches in the late depression era, including June and [...]

This is really an unfair comparison! This week’s tablescape is a vignette of two serving pieces, both center handled serving trays, both Fostoria Glass, both etched with ribbons, bows and pretty flower bouquets. Which one do you like better? What a dilemma! When you go to a lunch that serves dessert – in this case [...]

Here’s an advance peek at our theme for this week’s Tablescape Thursday: Dueling Ribbons and Bows. Which of these do you like better? Fostoria June etched topaz center handled server or the equally beautiful Romance etched crystal plume handled tray? Fostoria made June about 20 years before Romance and used different shapes. Can you see [...]

Does Doric & Pansy Ultramarine Glass Glow under Black Light? Today Debbie contacted me through my store to ask whether Doric & Pansy ultra marine / teal glass glowed under black light. 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 [...]
