Jeannette Glass made Cube, also called Cubist, from 1929 to 1932 and it’s easy to spot with its geometric design of stacked cubes. It is vaguely similar to Fostoria America elegant glass or Indiana Whitehall, but if you see the glass in person or have dimensions it’s quite easy to tell apart. Several of the posts linked above give tips to differentiate the three patterns.
Jeannette made a luncheon set in green and pink along with many accessory and decorative pieces including a covered candy jar and powder jar.
Luncheon sets include two plates, the 6 inch sherbet liner and 8 inch plate. Both have round, smooth rims and the cube design is on the wide rims and the centers.
As with most depression era patterns Cube includes sherbets.
The candy jar is a nice piece. The lid has a finial with the same cube design.
It’s rather odd, that although Cube is well-known and easy to spot, we saw very little of it in the 20 years we bought and sold glass. I had creamers and sugars, the candy, sherbets and some of the crystal and white pieces, but we saw no plates or serving pieces. We lived in central Michigan at the time and it may have been not as popular there for some reason.
Be aware that crystal or white milk glass small creamers, sugars and small round trays are from Hazel Atlas, essentially the identical pattern.
