Cane Landrum Yellow Depression Glass Bowl
This is a neat piece that’s not too common. Lancaster Glass made several patterns that look like etched glass, including this Cane Landrum design. The paisley motifs are raised to the touch – this is mold etched, mass produced depression glass.
Lancaster made glass that is right on the border between elegant glass, with its quality and hand work, and depression glass. Some Lancaster glass has ground base rims, yet we don’t expect mold etched designs in elegant glass.
The name of the design is Landrum and Lancaster used the same etch on pieces with this molded cane center and plain centers. Combine the Landrum design with the cane shape and you get the pattern name, Cane Landrum. Lancaster used their usual pink, topaz yellow and green glass for Cane Landrum. Topaz yellow seems the most prevalent here in mid-Michigan.
