I bought a number of these Depression pieces at an auction. They are irridescent. Solid, sherbert, dessert stems. I like the way the colour shimmers, but I have to admit that they don’t move me. Nonetheless, the fact that they have survived for 70+ years is most impressive. I likely will put these up for sale (some day).

Pretty in pink. This was part of an auction box lot. I knew it was a piece of Depression glass, but didn’t know its history. Took some time, and some sleuthing, but I discovered that it was likely produced between 1932-1935. Replacements.com identifies it as a cream soup bowl or nut bowl. Although it is pretty, I have no interest in starting, yet another collection and will look to sell or trade it.

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.
