Did you watch any of the royal weddings or read anything about the British royal family? Hard to resist, aren’t they. Kind of like chocolate bonbons.
You can feel better knowing that this is not new and it is not just you. Savvy glass companies marketed a long list of glassware to American families suffering through the depression by using pattern names that evoked the British empire.
- “Coronation”
- “Queen Mary”
- “Princess”
And of course, Windsor. Windsor is a heavy pressed pattern with diamond shapes. You can find pink, green or clear, but in our area clear and pink vastly outnumber green. What’s fun about Windsor is the sheer number of pieces, full dinner sets, luncheon sets, accessory pieces galore, serving pieces.
