We’re continuing our tour through several patterns of Lancaster depression glass with two green pieces, a Lana two handled serving plate and a Debbra bowl. Lana is soft green with a satin finish and Debbra is a rich, lovely green.
This Lana plate is from several years ago before I learned to photograph glass. It’s harder to see the color and soft finish in this photo but you can see the textured rim and cane center.
Lancaster Lana Green Depression Glass 2-Handled Plate
A lady on Facebook asked me about a piece she had like Lana but without the textured rim. I was puzzled at first because my mind said, “ah yes, Lana, the one with the wrinkles”, but I couldn’t find it listed in any of my books! Gene Florence calls this pattern Sunshine. As for the lady’s question, Lancaster made cane centered glass without further design.
From what I can tell, Lancaster made only one piece in their Debbra pattern, this two handled medium sized bowl. It’s a very pretty design and stunning in green. We have it listed on Etsy.
Lancaster Debbra Green Depression Glass 2-Handle Bowl
Take a good look at the two handles. Notice how Lana handles have a little knot in the center while Debbra’s are ribbed and without the knot. The knot is a very good way to identify Lancaster glass as it’s unique.
We still have a few pieces of Lancaster and maybe Lancaster to look at. I was pleasantly surprised to see just how much Lancaster glass passed through our store in the past 15 years, more than I thought we had had. I buy it when possible but it’s often a little pricey to purchase and resell and I don’t see that much of it. My advice is that if you like it, buy it now while you can. It’s beautiful and you won’t regret it.
