Hazel Atlas Amethyst Depression Glass Fancy Candy Basket This chrome and amethyst glass candy dish basket was made by Hazel Atlas circa 1929, or at least the bowl was. It's in the Fancy pattern, produced only in 1929, and quite scarce in the amethyst color (which was brought back as Moroccan Amethyst by the company some 35 years later). The ruffled rim bowl is 4-3/4" diameter by 1-5/8" deep, the chrome basket frame is 4-3/4" high to the top of the swing handle. There are a couple of bubbles in the glass, otherwise excellent condition with no damage.

Lancaster Carol Yellow Topaz Etched Footed Bowl This topaz yellow Depression glass footed shallow bowl or plate is shown in a 1932 Lancaster Glass Company catalog as the Carol pattern - or at least the same blank is called Carol. The picture shows the pieces with a satin finish and painted rose decoration, but the text says it's also available in plain topaz. I don't know the name of the leaf and swag etch on this piece.

The bowl is 10-1/4" diameter by 2" deep. There are no chips or flakes, but it does have some short scratches in the glass. Most are minor and not noticeable but one is deep enough to feel with your fingertips and about 1/8" long.

Jeannette Jadite Glass Salt and Pepper Range Shakers This set of ribbed Jadeite glass kitchen salt and pepper shakers was made by Jeannette Glass Company. They're about 4-5/8" tall by 2" diameter at the bases. The lids have slight wear but are overall in good condition, though I don't think they're the original lids. There are no chips or flakes, not even around the threaded necks. The lettering on the salt shaker is faded, and both shakers could stand a more thorough cleaning than what I gave them.

McKee Custard Glass Tea Canister Jar A Depression era glass tea canister by McKee. I sometimes have trouble distinguishing McKee's custard color from Seville Yellow but I'm going with custard. This one fluoresces bright green under black light but then both colors may do that.

The 6-1/4" jar is marked with the McK in circle logo. The black lettering on the front is in great condition. There are no chips, cracks, or damage other than typical thin flakes and roughness at the rim under the lid. The silver marks on the threads come from the aluminum cap and are very common. The original lid has some dings as shown.

Green Depression Glass 7.5 Inch Sanitary Refrigerator Jar Lid This is a lid (only) to a green Depression glass jar. It's 7-1/5" diameter with center knob handle, marked in raised letters on the underside: "Sanitary Refrigerator Jar, Adaptable for meats, poultry, vegetables, butter, fruit, etc.".

There's one little nick below the edge of the rim, which I tried to show in closeup. Keep in mind that the picture is greatly magnified - the nick does not show unless viewing in profile from the side. Displays well by itself on a baker's rack or in a china cabinet.

Indiana Constellation Intaglio Fruit Platter with Silver and Ruby Underlay Decoration This 13-1/2 inch cake or serving plate was made by Indiana Glass Company in the 1940s. The pattern is called Constellation with the intaglio grapes center (most pieces of Constellation did not have the fruit centers). It has shiny silver and ruby painted decoration applied to the back which some people mistakenly think is a Goofus treatment. The silver decoration is ruby red on the back, and the red shines through the silver nicely when the platter is held to the light.


The plate is in fabulous condition - I'm tempted to call it mint. There are no scratches, flakes, chips, or wear, and the painted finish is in virtually pristine condition with no scratches or flaking. It was obviously never used except perhaps to display. Perfect as a holiday or special occasion serving piece.

Hocking Square Depression Green Glass Refrigerator Dish This wide ribbed green Depression era glass leftover or fridge storage jar usually goes unidentified as it's not marked, but it was shown in a 1932 Hocking Glass Company kitchen glassware brochure. The dish measures just a tad under 5-1/2" square by 3" deep and does not come with a lid. It's in very good vintage condition with the usual minor mold line roughness near the rim but no chips, cracks, or cloudiness.

Hotel Fort Kearney Nebraska Green Glass Match Stand Ashtray An interesting Depression era green glass match holder ashtray with advertising and painted decoration made by Diamond Match. The ashtray is from Hotel Fort Kearney in Kearney, Nebraska as lettered inside around the match stand. The underside is painted black, probably to better show the lettering, and the outside and rim have red and yellow rings or stripes. The underside is embossed with Pat. App. For and D.M. Co. which stands for Diamond Match Company.

There is a bruise chip on the lower outside edge, shown in the second photo. The lettering is worn at the H and O in Hotel, and the E and Y in the second Kearney. Hotel Fort Kearney closed permanently 35 years ago.

Hocking Miss America 2 Crystal Sherbet Plates and Saucer, Mint Three 5-3/4" crystal plates in the Depression Glass era Miss America pattern by Hocking Glass. Two are sherbet plates, one is a saucer (the same size and design but with a shallow cup ring in the center). This pattern is prone to flaking and chipping but all three pieces are perfect with no damage, scratches, or cloudiness. They're still glossy and look like they were never used. Price is for the set of three.

2 Depression Green Glass Coasters These may be a pair of furniture casters rather than coasters, I'm not sure. They're unpatterned green Depression glass, 3-3/4" diameter by just under 3/4" deep. Both are in very good vintage condition with no chips, flakes, or noticeable scratches, just some typical light contact rub wear on the undersides. Price is for the set of two.

McKee Jadeite Box Pepper Shaker This large McKee Jadite green glass pepper shaker has the Box style of Art Deco lettering on the front. It would measure 5" tall overall if the lid weren't kind of smashed at one side, giving it a tam o'shanter hat look. To the rim it's 4-5/8" high. It's in very good condition with no chips, rim flakes or roughness, or other damage, just a couple of minor straw marks in the glass from manufacture, which is typical.

Tiffin US Glass Crystal Whip Cream Bowl Compote with Flower Cutting This style of rolled edge comport was often called a whip cream bowl by the manufacturer, US Glass Company and produced at the Tiffin Factory R plant. It's larger than most whipped cream compotes though, at nearly 8" diameter at the rim by 4-3/4" high. The wheel-cut floral etch was probably done by Lotus, a Depression era glass decorator who bought blanks from most of the glass companies of the time. The design is virtually identical to their Marie decoration, except the example I found has a few additional leaves on the stem where this one has only six.

The comport is in crystal clear, excellent condition. There is one pinprick scratch or fleabite on the rim, and a tiny ping on the inside of the bowl which is basically a round, shallow scratch, not a chip or flake (possibly caused by a bubble at the surface of the glass). There are a few tiny, short scratches here and there which are common to glass of this age and aren't easily seen except under magnification.

US Glass Tiffin 1920s Crystal Etched Center Handled Pastry Tray Server This pretty crystal center handled pastry plate or sandwich tray was made by the United States Glass Company at their Tiffin Factory R plant in the 1920s. It's about 9" diameter and has a wheel cut etching of flowers and leaves and a decorative scalloped cutting around the rim. The plate is crystal clear with no cloudiness, and no chips or flakes. There are some light surface scratches which can be seen when held to the light.

Set of 4 Hand Painted Glass Nursery Jars This set of four glass nursery jar containers dates to the 1930s. They held necessities for babies in the days before commercial baby lotions, oils and powders. They're 4-1/2" tall to the tops of the faceted crystal lid finials by 3-1/4" diameter. The words Alcohol, Cotton, Boric Acid, and Olive Oil are hand lettered in black paint, with pink and blue hand painted flowers and polka dots below.

I'm not sure which glass company made the jars, possibly McKee. There's a circle on the bottom of each one plus a molded-in number but no other mark. The jars and lids have no damage, they've survived the past 75 years or so in great shape. It looks like there's a little wear to the flowers and lettering in my photos, but in checking under magnification, that's the way they were painted - there is no fading, flaking or wear. I don't think the jars were used much if at all. They look nicer than my terrible pictures show,

Hocking Waterford Waffle 5 Piece Place Setting Cup Saucer Bowl Plate Sherbet A five-piece partial place setting (or breakfast setting) in Hocking's Depression era crystal Waffle or Waterford pattern. Included are a cup and saucer, footed sherbet, 4-3/4" berry bowl, and 7-1/4" salad plate. Each piece is in crystal clear, excellent condition with no flakes, chips, cloudiness, and very little to no use marks. I've just discovered that what I thought was a Waffle cup is a pretender - it looks just like Waterford but the waffles are slightly rounded rather than flat and the true Waffle cups are not footed. All five pieces for one price.
