Federal Glass Sharon Amber Depression 5 inch Berry Bowl
I went to the flea market today and found a few pieces of Sharon amber depression glass. One lady had several dinner plates. The price was right but the plates had quite a bit of wear so I left them. Another seller had a set of three pieces, a little berry bowl like this one, the larger serving bowl and a small plate. These were a little high but I bought them. Sharon is a nice pattern that many of my customers enjoy and the amber is making a resurgence in popularity.
Personally I’m partial to green and amber depression glass more than pink, but pink still seems to be most customers’ favorite. Of course blue – in the few patterns you can find – remains the top color.
One thing about Sharon is how affordable it is. The amber 8 inch serving bowl is under $10 which is one of the lowest prices you will see for a colored depression glass bowl. It’s been increasingly uncommon for me to find depression glass at the local flea market and I buy it when it’s in good condition.
