Last post we looked at two patterns you are likely to find at thrift stores or estate sales, Medallion by Anchor Hocking, and Windsor from Federal and later Indiana. Both have depression-similar styling, colored glass and interesting designs and you are likely to see them labeled as depression glass. Both are from the 1960s-70s, not truly depression glass.
Today we will look at two more patterns, Swedish Modern and Indiana Loganberry.
But first, let’s look at one more photo of iridescent Windsor from Indiana Glass. I came across this photo when looking for pictures for today’s post and thought you might like to see it. Sometimes I don’t recognize pieces even when looking right at them!
Swedish Modern from Anchor Hocking
We used to see this at auctions and sales all the time. Dave liked it and for a long time I had it in my database as “Dave’s Pattern”. There are several bowls, both crystal and colored. I’ve only seen the curved bowls like this one in crystal and the angular, squarish looking ones only in colored glass.
This laurel cut pattern is part of the Swedish Modern line. Gene Florence called this cut 411 and attributed to Anchor Hocking.
Indiana Loganberry – Depression Era and Later
Crystal Loganberry is from the 1920 and Indiana then re-issued it in the 1960s-70s in iridescent and avocado green. I love the raised bumpy texture and the heavy relief pattern; it’s just too bad that Indiana made only a few pieces. I’ve seen the clear only in a grill plate and two bowl shapes. I think that in our 16 years of glass we’ve seen this pattern maybe a dozen times in the older crystal.
The grill plate is small, about a luncheon plate size, not a dinner size.
Have you seen either of these patterns?
