Since St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner so let’s look at a few green items. This is one of my favorite green depression glass patterns, Princess by Hocking Glass. I have a large selection in pink but have to admit I prefer green to the pink. Hocking’s green in this pattern is just a tad lighter color, a little fresher than the usual green.
I like the way the scroll designs on this pattern look like curtains sweeping away on a stage. It makes me feel like I’m at the theater waiting for the curtain to go up and the play to begin.
Most of the Princess pieces are octagonal, really squares with the corners cut off, and this bowl is round at the top and octagonal at the base. It is called the 9 inch deep hat-shaped bowl. It is 9 inches across and almost 4 inches deep and it looks deeper than it is. A bowl of this style would be great for a pasta salad, especially one with some green peppers or green rotini in it
