Depression

010 (2)Updated from my posting of February 24, 2012……Three new berry bowls.  Of course they can be used for desserts other than berries!

__________________________________________________________________

I bought these Depression pieces as part of an auction lot.  They are amber in colour.  I have the two three piece plates (grill plates ?) and some cone-shaped sherberts.  Kind of boring, but I guess each to his own.  I like to think of these items being given away in cereal boxes (I read this, must have been really big boxes!)  There are so many types, colours, shapes and patterns of Depression glass.  I once had an acquaintance who collected green glass.  I thought about buying her a piece because, in my inexperience I thought that green glass would all be the same pattern.  Maybe she collected any green pattern, as that would be pretty together on a table, but I never bought her any – just in case!

Hazel-Atlas Florentine No. 2 Footed Sherbert – Update

001Update to my original post of April 22, 2012…

Don’t know why I was confused about the pattern.  This piece, and the piece below are definitely Florentine No. 2 (a/k/a Poppy No. 2).  They were produced by Hazel-Atlas between 1932-1935.

Picked this yellow sherbert up at a nearby thrift shop recently.  Hard to tell from the photo, but the colour is very ‘citrusy’ yellow.

I don’t know if this is Florentine number one or two.  But it’s definitely Florentine. It’s a cute little thing.  If you put your dessert in this sized glass you wouldn’t have to worry about eating too much Hagen Daas!  I picked this up because I don’t have any pieces in the clear.  Oddly enough I’d never seen the clear.  Always interesting to see pieces in the proverbial flesh.

Fostoria Amber/Topaz 5099/5299 High Sherbert or Champagne

Champagne, Depression, Sherbert

We went to the Santa Claus Parade yesterday and afterwards wandered around the shops.  The local St. Vincent de Paul shop had four of these stems for sale.  I knew I had seen the stems in a book so thought I’d pick them up.

Turns out that they are a Fostoria blank – #5099/5299.  I am guessing that the 5099 represents the blanks with an optic and the 5299 items have no optic.  If this is accurate (and this is a wild guess) then my glasses are 5099. Replacements.com dates this stem as 1929-1936.

The colour is very pretty.
