Well, it wasn't really Depression Glass that got me started, it was actually Pyrex Festiva Plates in Spring Green...
We had bought a full set of Corelle Chutney for our everyday dishes, and I wanted some salad plates to coordinate with the set. I had seen some pretty green glass plates at our local Zellers store quite some time ago and thought that I would pick some up to coordinate with our dishes. By the time I got around looking, they were no longer available, not even at our Corelle warehouse. A saleslady suggested that I check Ebay for some Depression Glass in Green, as the color was the same. And so it began...
What lovely settings! Thanks for the story.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mom Walds Place. And would you believe I STILL don't have any green plates!
ReplyDeleteThanks for following my humble blog. You've got a beautiful blog. I'll read more later and link.

A fellow Depression Glass lover! I used to have a huge cache of Poinsettia pattern (but sold it to buy my home-schooled kids their first computer!) Do I miss it? Only one piece -- a pint footed candy dish w/ cover -- my 1st piece! But I do think longingly of all the pieces I had.
ReplyDeleteI have a few other pieces that I love (some kitchen ware). But I've yet to find another piece of Poinsettia.
Your pictures are lovely and the glassware and the lighting so clear! Good stuff!
Thank you Doris the Great!
ReplyDeleteI hope to use this blog to share lots of my treasures. I've never come across any Poinsettia, but I've seen many photos in books and it looks lovely.
