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

I have a few pink cherry blossom pieces. Love it!

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!

We also collect Heisey Glass.

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!

I have a TON of Royal Ruby. I buy it and then display it, then pack it up in boxes to make room for more! Have absolutely no idea what all that I have. Hope it is an investment.

Qbee, I love your pictures. It all looks fabulous in your kitchen. Your cobalt rolling pin is a beauty - I hope it's secure on the wall.
I know what you mean about repros when it comes to DHs. Mine bought a ton of depression glass on ebay, some the real thing and some not so real.... after I had it for awhile I finally, gently broke it to him that I was quite sure a few items were repo's. He didn't say too much! Anyways, I think he learned his lesson and that's the only reason why I told him - fearful he might keep doing the same thing.

I have alot of patterns as I don't collect any one. I have a ton of blue bubble, pink dogwood, and fireking. Have some of iris,florentine,floral and diamond, cameo, windsor and many more. Love it all. I keep some on display and use some of it fairly regularly, but alot is in my cupboards and not used too often. I also love collecting kitchenware from the 30's - 60's.

I like the pink or amber. doesn't matter what design.

royal lace in cobalt blue; received my first piece from my grandmother, a 3 footed bowl. Haven't added any pieces in years.

ohhhh.....I'm jeolous.... :mrgreen:

I have inherited and collected the cobalt blue and the beautiful pink ( various patterns) for years. I said to my DD remember when I'm gone the pink is yours, the blue your sisters- Her reply "and the flea market is on tues?"

OMGosh! No way!! Give it to the DD who will appreciate it!

I collect pink - any pattern and ruby.

My Aunt gave me my Grandmother's Candlewick dishes. I have plates, cups & saucers, serving bowls & utensils, and can't remember what else. I added some pieces to the set last summer. Like others, I have had to educate myself because I did buy some Candlewick lookalikes (made by Anchor Hocking of all companies)! I am just honored to have these dishes, because I know they meant a lot to Grandma & represent one of the few things she did for herself in those hard times.

I have a Jadite mixing bowl w/handle. We had a county cleanup day and was waiting for DH & a county worker to unload some large pieces from our truck. I was walking around the piles just looking and found a box of dishes. Every plate was broken and most of the cups , it was turned upside down and survived.Since then I have had a thing for Jadite. :-D

Cherry Blossom, from my MIL, passed on to my daughter and will go to my granddaughter in May when she gets married.

An old neighbor gave me some cobalt blue, one of my daughters got that since she loves cobalt.
I have some lovely pieces from Blenko glass plant in Milton, WV, my old home town.

Love that rolling pin!

I have a few pieces of pink and several pieces of Carnival glass.

I collect the old jadite dinnerware in the alice pattern, and milk glass cake stands.

No Depression glass - only because I really need to see exactly what it looks like and the different patterns/colors. But I collect Fenton and Cameoware from Harker.

Qbee, I LOVE your kitchen!

My hubby, Rich was fortunate to inherit an almost complete set of Floragold (Louisa) dishes from his mother.

After Dad died last June my sisters and I divided up all the glassware that my mother had collected over the years. She loved any pattern that was forest green. She also had collected several pieces of Ruby Red and others.

I have several pieces of glass that I've collected over the years in various colors and patterns.

I also collect cobalt blue glassware.

I have some that my mother in law gave me win she die dont know a lot about them.

We also got pink and green pieces in oatmeal boxes.

I have some clear stuff, but ignorant as to pattern name...

My mom has collected depression glass for as long as I can remember. She bought and sold in her 2nd hand shop. She is 83. Each of us 6 kids picked a pattern and she helped us find pieces for the one we picked.

I have an extensive collection of Clear Manhattan.I also have Rudy pieces that mix and match with the Manhattan.Have had this collection for 40 years. Never had china these were our *good* dishes. Love it still.
I also collect Wexford glass.

I had a large assortment of Hazel Atlas "Royal Lace" in pink. I had inherited some of it from my great aunt. Really loved it, but lost it in a house fire. :-(

Pink cherry blossoms!!

So pretty!

I collect the cherry blossom pattern also. My mother recently gave me a cake plate and 6 small plates that she received as a wedding gift 70 years ago.

I really don't collect Depression glass but I do have a collection I inherited from my mom. My father worked at the Hocking glass company in Lancaster Ohio between 1032 and 1937 and brought pieces he made home to my mom. I have the ice blue(very rare) Mayfair design and my sister got several pieces of the pink and green. I have them on display and will never sell them. My great grandkids will get them probably. I go to antique malls in Ohio all the time and have not seen any of the ice blue.

I have collected some green glass, Depression and Princess House. They are for my grand daughter. She loves anything green.

Yes, I do. I have a colbolt blue vase, small apothacary jar and a red thumb print ginger shaped bottle with a stopper. I also have a large grapevine punch bowl with 3 feet on the bottom. this one is Carnavale Glass.

I have my mother's Fostoria Americana pattern. I also have some red ware that is called Pigeon Blood (ugly name) It is ruby glass with an orange tinge.
