Pretty Pressed Glass Bowl

I stopped by my favorite antique shop yesterday and had the good fortune to find this pretty girl. She is 5.5" tall and 9' across. The glass is pressed with a strawberry pattern and I have never seen it before. Collecting more of this would be just grand. Does anyone else collect pretties like this?

enjoy looking!

That is a very pretty piece! Like the strawberry design. I have a few pieces of pressed glass that belonged to my grandmother, a bowl with a sawtooth edge, a vinegar carafe and a piece we call a celery dish. It is long and narrow. I also have a collection of Open Lace or Old Colony depression glass. I had fun looking for pieces in antique stores while travelling. Don't really need any more

It's beautiful.

I gave my daughter- in- law a beautiful glass antique cake dish that belonged to my great grand mother.

My mother had a lot of pressed glass that had been handed down over the years. Neither of my daughters were interested so I let my sister have it all. I loved the tea cups more anyway.

I collect the pink depression glass. Also have a few pieces of the green and vasoline color that I inherited from my husband's family. I also have pieces that I got as wedding presents, that are slowly becoming antiques. 54 years.

I don't collect it, but do have a couple of pieces that were my grandmothers. I do enjoy them.

....oh my, pretty cut glass, crystal things are my weakness......I always buy a piece or two when I go to the goodwill store....even though " entertaining" is so casual nowadays, a pretty dish/ bowl at the table adds a bit of pizzazz! I use these regularly, even at daily meals.......my daughters/granddaughters want no part of any of it, so yearly at my garage sale, I sell some so I can replenish during the year...just my fun time....
