100 Visitors Blog Giveaway

We have reached 100 visitors on our Blog!!!!  We are so excited we are doing a Giveaway!! 

Enjoy this cute saucer on your wall or mantle!

This is a pink depression glass saucer in the Queen Mary pattern, also known as Prismatic Line or Vertical Ribbed pattern. It was produced by the Anchor Hocking Glass Company between 1936 and 1949.

A GREAT piece to start or add to your collection! - This pattern is fairly easy to find & most items remain affordable. The pink and ruby items are generally considered to be more valuable than the clear.

Did you Know???

Depression glass was often distributed free or at low cost around the time of the Great Depression. Food manufacturers put a piece of glassware in boxes of food, as an incentive to purchase. Other businesses would hand out a piece simply for coming in the door. Most pieces was made in the central and mid-west United States.

    How pretty! My mom collected the green depression ware but has since sold it. I love the delicate pink color!

    Sherone, I saw your posting on MJ Farmgirls. I also signed up to follow your blog. This piece of depressions glass, although inexpensive at the time, truly should be worth a lot more. It is beautiful. When looking at old articles, I always stop & wonder who made it, who sold it and who it was who bought it. I often wonder what type of a life they had. On another note, I remember my Mom getting free cups, plates etc out of laundry boxes after WWII. Must be much the same as the depression glass. I really would be proud to be the new owner.

    I love pink depression ware and have a couple of pieces but I have a great little dessert petal dish that sure could use being paired up with the dish. I will keep my fingers and toes crossed. Thanks for putting this together.

    Alot of the depression ware was not sold but given away in store stuff-cereal, soap etc. It was an incentive to get customers to buy! I think my mom said grandma got hers from the laundry soap boxes. Wish they gave neat stuf like that now!
