Yesterday we stopped at an antique mall in northern Indiana off I65 (I cannot recall the town) just before they closed. We were on our way home from Tennessee and were pretty tired but we both wanted to look for older Franciscan Apple dishes and I’m always ready to look at glass!
We didn’t see any Apple and didn’t have time for the staff to get any of these out of the cases but I spent a few moments drooling over this display of green depression era glass. The pictures are not great, quick snaps with my cell phone.
The etched stems looked a little like Cambridge Lorna but were not, I don’t know the pattern.
Green Goblets and Floral Green Candy
You can see some of the other green depression glass next to the stems. The tall candy jar is Floral Poinsettia from Jeannette, depression glass. I like Hazel Atlas’s Florentine Poppy depression glass and these green tumblers were a nice find. The seller priced them at $25 which seems reasonable.

One of my favorite Fostoria etches is Lido, which sadly doesn’t sell all that well. This booth had a pair of low Baroque candle holders for $14.50.

This topaz yellow pointed oval bowl was marked as elegant glass without a pattern. It is Lancaster Jody, one of the patterns that I always have to look up the name, with a cut flower design. Very pretty piece.

Several booths had Fire King. This display was attractive with a few patterns including Wheat, gold trimmed Shell, Peach Lustre, plus a few other decorated designs.
Interesting Fire King
I would have enjoyed seeing and touching this Petal bowl because our daughter collects this pattern. Federal made Petal in a limited number of pieces, mostly bowls or plates, and in a huge variety of colors. I wasn’t sure whether Deidra has this one in the pale green; she later told me her piece has some nicks. Deidra has an enormous collection of just about every color and piece; it fills a big china cupboard including all the drawers!

Lots of Petal pieces have nicks on the edges of the outer points or on the inside edge of the rim, so I would have had to check this over carefully before buying.
We will have to look here again (assuming I can figure out where it was) the next time we go down I65.
