I have an entire table setting set of the depression glass pink...not sure of the pattern (packed way) plus extra pieces including a water pitcher that I use now.

it just knocks me out that so much of it even survived. it reminds me that i have other 'collections' hidden way that i really should look at and get rid of. antique tins and baskets, etc. also antique dust mice.

I have a few ieces of several different patterns, whatever caught my eye at the time. I also have a collection of cups and saucers, a few angels, and some figurines.
|
Have a complete set of green jadite. Kept collecting it until I had a complete set of 12. Told my son it was his inheritance.:)

i searched all the responded to see if anyone collects the Blue Delphite Cherry Blossom made by Jeanette Glass company in Pennsylvania, during the depression. I was given the child's set of play dishes when I was about 5 years old. It was stored away for years, and to my delight I learned it had increased in value. what was 99C in 1939, was worth over $500 when I last checked, about 10 years ago.
Somewhere about 20 years ago my husband challenged me to see if I could assemble a set of adult dinnerware. I spent about 10 years searching antique shop and collected a good many pieces, but moving from our House to a condo, all was packed in boxes and are still there on the shelves in the basement. Sorry I don't have photos to share. Perhaps they are on a Depression glass site on the web. It is not clear like the pink is, but is an blue opaque glass. Unusual. June in Cincinnati |
