Dogwood Pink Depression Glass by MacBeth Evans

Unlike American Sweetheart and Petalware, you are not likely to find Dogwood in monax white glass although supposedly they did make a few pieces in monax.  Instead, look for the pink shown here and green.  Green is more scarce than pink and correspondingly pricier in some pieces.  You will probably find more pink 8 inch lunch plates than any other piece; it must have been a premium.

I wasn’t too thrilled with Dogwood when I first saw it but over the years this has grown to be one of my more favorite patterns.  The glass is lightweight and seems thin and delicate but this is one pattern that does not seem to get chipped easily.

The large simple flower design reminds me of the beautiful etched brocade designs and it’s neat how the mold designer used the flower stems to camouflage the seams on the side.
