Just back from a sunny vacation in Cuba. While there, we were fortunate to have the opportunity to have a lunch in the home of a gentleman we met at our resort. He was a pianist/entertainer there.
When we went into the dining room I saw the family’s cabinet of treasures – china, flatware and glass. Much to my surprise I spotted several pieces of Depression glass. There was a Jeannette Iris sugar bowl, some pink glass that I didn’t recognize, some clear Boopies, a yellow pitcher that I didn’t recognize and this green piece. I received permission to photograph them.
I’d seen the piece online. It is a piece of Anchor Hocking with a very pretty stem. Replacements.com doesn’t have a name for it, but several ebayers call it “Inspiration”.
The man of the house and I could not communicate well, but I did determine that the pieces had belonged to his grandmother and were very treasured. Wished I could have found out how she had gotten them.
Just goes to show you can find treasures everywhere!
