Depression Glass Pattern?
When it comes to acquiring blue cobalt glassware, value really is in the eyes of the beholder. It is not possible to tell what a particular person is going to fall in love with. Equally challenging is producing any piece of fine art which is able to appeal to everybody. Regardless of how celebrated the master, there are some people that will not be partial to or recognize the value of his art. On the other hand, there are items which turn out to be collectible and important, at least to the collector, simply for the reason that you take pleasure in owning them looking at them.
I recently purchased a pink, six sided candy dish with an eagle and star pattern. I believe it may be a Depression era piece, but there's several different companies that made Depression glass and I can't find this particular pattern. If anyone can offer and clues as to what it is exactly, I would really appreciate it! If you want to see a pic of it, just ask. I also have a clear crystal bowl with a lid, which I suspect may be Depression glass also.
