Cake Stand, Floral Cut, Indiana Glass, Platter, Tray

PlatterI’ve had this stand for ages.  I have absolutely no idea where I bought it.  It’s attractive with the detailing around the edge and on the base.

I had no idea of its origin so I posted it at the wonderful Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum for ID help.  Within hours the blank had been identified.

Made by Indiana Glass, likely in the 1950s, there were other pieces in the Coronation line.  Platter 2The pattern is unidentified and could have been made by Indiana or could have been made by another decorating company.

I have a number of cake stands/platters.  They are pretty, but take up a great deal of storage space (especially when you never bake anything).

Last update – October 4, 2012

Still updating my Indiana Glass.  I have found out, from Ms. Adler, that this pattern is also called Flower and Leaf Band.  It was introduced in 1933 in the off white French Ivory and reissued in the ’50s in white milkglass.  It was then called Orange Blossom.  It is Indiana’s pattern 239.

My lovely, now 28 year old, daughter bought me a copy of Warman’s Depression Glass Field Guide – 3rd edition.  I don’t ordinarily seek out pieces of Depression glass, but upon leafing through the book I was taken with these pieces and decided to order them.  Got them on ebay.  They didn’t disappoint.

This is what the guide has to say – “Manufactured by Indiana Glass Company, Dunkirk, Indiana, in the 1930s and in the 1950s.  Made in custard colour, known as French Ivory.”  The colour is very subtle and I hope it can be picked up in the photo.

There are a number of other pieces.  By the value in the guide, it looks like the sherberts must be the rarest.  They seem to be worth the most.  I think I will be happy with just these pieces to add to my sugar/creamer collection.  But….if I came across them at a good price……..never say never!

Indiana Glass Bowls in the Loganberry Pattern

Indiana Glass Loganberry BowlI don’t know which one I had first, the Carnival piece I think.  Then along came the green one, and then, last weekend, the clear.  These bowls were made in the 1980s.  I hope it is easy to tell that one is clear, one is green and one is amber/Carnival.  I’ve only showed the close-up of the Carnival piece.

Indiana made older pieces back in the 1920s but the colours were a light pink and a light green (not together).  I’ve never seen the older pieces.

The bowls are bon bons.  Folks sure made fancy dishes for candy!  But they are large enough to use as cereal/soup bowls or even for serving.Indiana Glass Loganberry Bowl (3)

They are attractive.  I hope the details of the fruit and leaves are distinguishable.  The berries serve as feet for the bowls.
