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!

Cornflower Sugar and Creamer (4)I was putting this up for sale on my Etsy shop and wondered if I had posted this here.  Although I’ve posted other pieces of Corn Flower, these pieces had not made the big time!  Now they have!

I have had these for awhile and have no recollection where I got them.  They are quite pretty.  the scalloping around the rim and the ornate handles elevate them from the ordinary (like my other creamer).

I’ve gone through my one reference book to see if I could identify the blank.  After all Heisey, Tiffin, Imperial, New Martinsville and others made the glass for the Hughes Company.  But I didn’t see this shape in my text.

You see lots of Corn Flower in this neck of the woods because its Canadian, but I’ve not noticed these pieces before or since I bought them.

Creamer, Cups, Saucers, Sugar

One of my daughters (the 28 year old) told me recently that she wants to have vintage white dishes for her table.  Of course I love any excuse to buy vintage stuff.  She entertains and loves to set a nice table.

I was very excited thinking that she would love the Fire King stuff.  After all, it IS white.  However, I gather that the gold trim is not to Miss Thing’s liking.  She does like the Bubble bowl though.  Whew, lucky break!

Anyway – more Fire King here…but…..  I’m NOT buying any more!!!!!!  I MEAN it!!!!!  No more…….unless it’s super cheap that is!
