Just wondering if any quilters out there are also depression glass collectors and if so what pattern/s.

We collect pink Dogwood and Pink Cabbage Rose. Have a lot and sometimes wonder why. We have it all packed away. We have two sons and one day each one will get a set Also collect Pineapple and Floral.

I had a pink plate that was depression glass. It belonged to my grandmother who got it during the depression. I have no idea what the pattern was. The paint on it was starting to peel from age.
I handed it down to my sister who has all the other family plates. I figured all the plates should be in one person's hands. It will be passed onto her daughter (my neice) which I am happy with.

I also heard that alot of these dishes were handed out free at gas stations when you filled up or from soap powder boxes back during that time and into the war.

I collect the pink Rose of Sharon or I think some call it cabbage rose.

Oh yes!! I am for sure!! No particular pattern, just any and all Cobalt Blue!! I started to collect the Hazel Atlas Royal Lace but since my mom passed in December I have decided to keep her china in that place :D I have some of the true "Depression" Glass and I have some repro that my DH and kids have gotten that I didn't have the heart to tell them was a reproduction...LOL :D Here are a few pics!

I have a couple of the pink cherry blossum cake platters and my Mom has a lovely square cobalt blue cake platter and a pink one that I can't remember the pattern.

Have the green, pink and they are packed away in a wooden trunk that came from Norway.

I used to actively collect blue Baroque Fostoria glass. Now, I just enjoy what I have and only get more if a happy accident happens. Eg., an unexpected find!
