Description

A collection of vintage pink pressed glass tableware, featuring several notable patterns from the Depression era. The group includes a large octagonal biscuit jar in the Royal Lace pattern by Hazel-Atlas, decorated with classical medallions and draped bead swags (lacking its original lid). Also present is a three-footed console bowl in the Cherry Blossom pattern by the Jeannette Glass Company, featuring a flared, wavy rim and molded floral sprays. A large oval serving platter is identified by the molded script Holiday within its poinsettia and foliage decoration, a pattern produced by the Jeannette Glass Company. The assortment is completed by a small two-handled bowl with vertical optic ribs and beaded details, a shallow bowl with concentric circular ribs and a ruffled edge, and a plain pedestal sherbet dish. The glass exhibits a soft rose colour characteristic of the period. Dimensions: Platter approx. L 30.5 cm x W 23 cm (measured against a visible tape measure). Condition: Overall in good vintage condition. The biscuit jar is missing its original lid. The platter shows light surface scratches to the centre consistent with use. The glass displays occasional enclosed air bubbles and minor manufacturing irregularities typical of early 20th-century pressed glass production. No major chips or cracks are apparent.
