Sunday's official start to Spring reminded me that I hadn't yet shared the next installment of vintage glassware from the 44th Vintage and Collectible Glass Show, hosted in October by the Peach State Depression Glass Club. It seemed appropriate to choose glassware in lovely bright greens that call to mind new leaves, and vivid yellows that are everywhere in garden daffodils. Enjoy!

A pretty dessert set.
This pedestal plate has an ombré effect, blending an almost opaque white into an acid yellow-green, often called "Vaseline glass". Containing trace amounts of uranium, the glass will glow under ultraviolet lights, though it is considered harmless and food-safe.
Painted milk glass.
Small 5 ounce wineglasses.
Covered cheese plate set.
One of the more unusual colors of green I found.
Although you can't see it in the photo, the pitcher had a lip to prevent ice cubes from falling into the glass as you poured.
This was labeled as a "vase" — what do you think?
A centerpiece bowl and matching candle holders for an elegant table.
If my basket hadn't been full, this vase may have come home!
I loved the colors on display in this booth.
Perfect for St Patrick's Day!
Some of the dealers had decorative pottery. I thought these impala vases were gorgeous.
Thanks for joining me to view what I think of spring colors in vintage glassware! To see more beautiful examples of glassware from the early 1900's to the 1970's, be sure to visit All the Shades of Red, The Blues of Vintage Glassware and All the Colors of the Rainbow.
If I had to choose a favorite.... i couldn't. so, I won't even try. they all are so stunning.
ReplyDeleteThat's why I always set myself a budget before I walk in the door! This time the selection seemed more varied and beautiful than usual!
DeleteGorgeous glassware Sandra - every last piece! I don't know how you choose but the painted milk glass and the green/blue with gold wine glasses are particularly stunning! I'll bet you had a lot of fun there and I would love to know what you chose. Happy Thursday!
ReplyDeleteAll the glassware was gorgeous! I took sooo many photos! I've gone to the show for a number of years and always come home with something. This time I was on a mission for wine glasses and found a lovely set in amber/yellow. I also bought a small oval serving bowl in a pattern I already own, and a dramatic set of bookends. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI love vintage glass and that's a very pretty collection.
ReplyDeleteIt's the first time I see painted milk glass.
Some great pieces there. Thanks for sharing.
I'm glad you enjoyed the photos! I love to share what I find at the shows because I know not everyone gets a chance to go to them. Thanks for visiting -- and for commenting.
DeleteI love the glassware, it's gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI agree wholeheartedly, Tina! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteSandra, such a beautiful variety of glassware. Love the colors. Those green goblets are calling my name. Happy Sunday.
ReplyDeleteI was really impressed by the colorful array at this year's show. There wasn't as many green and yellow items compared to blues and reds, but the designs were lovely. If I hadn't already exceeded my budget, I'd have scooped up those goblets!
DeleteThe glassware is absolutely beautiful Sandra!!! I would love to shop there. I have some green depression glassware and I'm always drawn to it. Thanks for sharing. XO- MaryJo
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'd love the shows, Mary Jo! I am so amazed what beautiful, distinctive glassware they display. Much, much more than in the typical antique store or vintage mall. There might be similar annual shows located near you. I just stumbled on the one I go to when I saw a flyer in an antique mall one year.
DeleteIt's all so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI agree wholeheartedly!
DeleteSandra, I love this table!!! The pansy plates are amazing and look tremendous with the lattice plates! The pansies are one of my favorite flowers and one with a long growing season throughout fall/winter/spring here in TX. Also, your retriever salt and pepper piece is gorgeous! Thanks for posting such a beautiful table! Patty
ReplyDeleteoops - sorry, I linked my pansy post with this glassware one by mistake. I will write a new one for this, and try to comment on the pansy one in the correct place.
ReplyDeleteEasy to do!
DeleteLove the glassware in this post! It is absolutely gorgeous! The orange vase really caught my eye-it is striking. I would love to see it in a tablescape. Also, the first vases you posted are gorgeous - and sure make me think "Spring" also. Thank you! - Patty
ReplyDeleteYou're so welcome, Patty! I love seeing all the gorgeous glassware at the shows and I'm hoping to go again this year.
