Depression

Just sold this pretty divided relish dish on Kijiji.  It is a Depression (1932-35) piece, also called Poinsettia.  I bought it at a local auction as part of a box lot of various things.  One was an alleged silver salt shaker which I dropped, and broke, before I had paid for it!  I’m thinking it wasn’t really silver.  Ha ha.  In any event the box cost $12.50 (I sold this piece for $12.00 – no money in this enterprise) and I got this, some wooden musical instruments, a pretty faced mug, some other glass pieces and various other sundry items.  I have a few pieces of Depression glass, but don’t really seek them out.  This pattern comes in green and in many different pieces.  Pretty common to track down, if anyone is looking.

Bows, Floral

I have a theory that the reason you can find sherberts/desserts easily is that no one used them!  They are so small that you can’t fit a decent amount of dessert into them.  This little stem is pretty with a dainty, unknown, pattern.  Needs identifying!  I wish I could remember where I got this.  I don’t know why I like remembering.  Part of the fun I guess of acquiring.  Looking at this photo…..I realize that I have to do a better job of dusting my glasses BEFORE photographing them!

Depression, Floral

The glasses hold 8 ounces and the pitcher holds 56 ounces (I think).  Can’t say that I have actually measured their volumetric capacities.  Very technical language, n’est-ce pas?  These are pretty common pieces, see them all over the place, although this was the first time I had seen glasses and a pitcher together.  I bought them at an auction in Orono for a pretty reasonable price.  Used them for Christmas O.J., but the glasses are hard to get your hand into because they are narrow.  These are Depression pieces.  Depression glass, although old, is still readily available as many pieces were very solid, unlike some of the finer crystal.  This comes in other colours as well, but I don’t think that the coloured pieces are as commonly seen.
