One of my favorite collections is Red trimmed Petalware made by the MacBeth-Evans Glass Company in the 1940's. The plate is somewhat translucent when held to the light. The first time I saw it...well, I just gasped. It was love at first sight.
Little did I know this pattern is "scarcer than hen's teeth". That's one of my grandma's saying but I kind of like it! I have SLOWLY added a piece at a time. And then fortunately, we found eBay. I added a few more here and there and still look for it on our trips.
There are many patterns of Petalware all made from 1930-1950. It comes in a variety of colors and patterns. Some patterns include the pastel stripes, bolders stripes, fruit patterns, and other florals.
This is the Mountain Flower pattern. I love that I can put almost any color with it. I can use my Green Depression glass, I have some blue I use...I just love it! The green goblet is from my mother and was considered the "good" glasses used for holidays, etc.
While shopping on eBay one day, I saw these tumblers. I almost stopped breathing! You think I'm exaggerating? Then you really don't know me very well!!! These are so very hard to find. I waited and sniped (do you know what that is?) and was the winner! Woo hoo! If I ever stumble on the larger 12 oz. tumblers, I'll have to do a little victory dance.
It is a very striking set to display. It was previously displayed in an old oak cabinet in our other home.
Currently it is displayed in my glass kitchen cabinet. I enjoy drinking my coffee at the island facing my pretty dishes!
