It’s cold outside and spring seems such a long time away. Let’s cheer ourselves up with a few days of pink. Pink isn’t just for Valentine’s Day any more.
Today I’m showing off one of our rare pieces of depression glass, the water tumbler in Dogwood depression glass from MacBeth Evans. Tumblers are always among the more scarce pieces in vintage glassware patterns and Dogwood is no exception. This one has the design screened on – not flat paint but a raised knobby like decoration. It’s very pretty and this 12 ounce size is even harder to find than others.
If you like flowers you recognize the four petals as being Dogwood but for some reason this pattern is nicknamed Appleblossom. Apple blossoms have five petals. Maybe it’s because the design is just so pretty and feels like spring.
