    I started collecting Jadeite a few years back because my depression had no outlet. It became a hobby that led me to do tons of research on all different kinds of glass. Kind of ironic how educating myself on something with depression in the name that had nothing to do with my literal depression gave me the most interesting hobby I've ever had. I'm doing much better now, and can quiet my mind so much by learning more about such beautiful pieces that brought joy to others through a literal depression in our history. ❤

    My former MIL could not afford fine china so she shopped garage sales for different pattern place settings. Mostly pink, she accessorized with pink depression glass serving pieces and drinkware. Her tables were stunning and I learned to set mine the same way. Groupings of odd candlesticks also added to the beautiful centerpieces. I started with pink, but I now collect all colors.

    Also, when collect things I really dont pay attention to current market value, or flipping my collection to see profits. It's much more personal. If I like the object, I think I would be proud to have it in my house, then I'd buy it.

      Me too!! I literally just left a comment basically saying the same thing... the important things for me are A) is it old? and B) do I love it? and then only after meeting those two criteria do I even think about it’s monetary value bc I don’t sell anything in my personal collection anyway... now that’s not to say I’m unaware of market value, I’m a crazy person who knows what I’m looking at and what to look for... I know the real deal when I see it but that’s mainly bc I’m super frugal and don’t wanna pay more than a certain number lol I also don’t care about perfection. I have a large Vaseline glass bowl I scored for a couple of bucks... I couldn’t believe the price but there was a small chip on the rim and that was enough to make them sell it for next to nothing.... to me that chip isn’t even noticeable and certainly doesn’t reduce the value of that bowl in my home. Literally no one has ever noticed it and that bowl is always on display. anyway, all of that just to say “yeah me too” lol

      @@MysticHeather ha ha! Well I really appreciate everything you are saying and nice to know there are like minded thinking people like me. Hey in a slightly different note, take the Hummel's. People loved Hummels in the 80s 90s. They were worth some cash. Not anymore. Antique shops if I'm lucky, would give me 10 dollars for one and that's because I think she felt bad. Same thing with Royal Daultons. They aren't worth anything anymore. The dealers said, today's generation could not care less about them, and the older people are now trying to get rid of them. Today's kids don't care about collectables they just don't sell. Anyway, I find it sad

    I was graced to literally trip over a green sawtooth crystal candy dish melting out of a snowplow berm (along w/1890s beer bottle) along the dirt streets of this ghost town w/70 lingering residents. 4,000 were jammed in a small mountain bowl and constantly amazed at the past relics showing up and the legacy of the pioneers. The mine areas are protected by federal law but if freak'n silver Jazz Age dance ring compacts show up on public land/old boom sites nearby, there's full museum stocks rusting away unseen.

    A few years back I hosted a baby shower. I went to a variety of stores and bought whatever I could find in pink depression glass to use as serving dishes. I paid as little as $1.00-$5.00 for each item. Afterwards, I looked up the value on my pieces, and most were just a few dollars more but my best was the cabbage rose biscuit dish with lid. I still use those pieces when I do springtime entertaining.
    My MIL gave me a set of 6 yellow parrot dessert dishes that her mother owned. Just looked them up and they are selling at $22 a piece! Never have used them, but need to get them out of the cabinet and start!

    My mom bought and sold antiques for close to 20 years. She sold at shows and later at antique "malls" where she had a booth. Our depression glass started with rebuilding her mom's green cameo ballerina. At first she only had the grill plates. She built it up to full service for 12. The hardest find was the small fruit bowls. I'm not sure if we got all 12, but I remember paying as much as $25 each in the 80s. My brother has it now. There's also alot of serving pieces and glasses. My dad bought her another pattern of Fostoria crystal dishes. It was in azure blue and not complete. The difference is that it is very high quality and is crystal and not cheap, imperfect glass. Over the years I have bought pieces to build it up. I remember paying $75 for a dinner plate in the 90s. It is a very beautiful set and it sets a beautiful table. It was supposed to come to me but my brother also has that, too. :( I love the "hunt".

      @@rogueinvestor2375yes they do, but it is such small quantities that it is virtually harmless to you. If you held a uranium glass plate to your face for two weeks, you would get the same dose of radiation as a medical xray. If you’re displaying it more than 2 feet away from you, you aren’t receiving any more radiation than regular background radiation.

    Hi everyone, just came across this great vlog, thank you. My story, is I inherited elegance glass and DG depression era glass from both Grandmother's & a great aunt. For years, wrapped up, stashed away in a big steamer trunk. Had lunch with coworker one day, topic brought up about all the different color glass I had. My friend, insisted to see all my DG. I had no ideal the history on how those colored pieces came into my relatives possession. I went with my friend to my first glass collectors club meeting and signed up membership. From there, did my research. The club loaned out their many books on the pattern subject. Soon, I had the fever, setting up a glass case booth at a antique store. The club, did several weekend bus road trips to nearby state glass convention shows. My Grandma's had several mix patterns, mostly all pink (greens, reds, and clear too). Favorite was the AH princess pattern. I bought several pieces to princess pink collection. Bought several other patterns (top 5 mention in your vlogs,). Later I found Tiffin Glass Co., and found pieces hand-blown from Swedish Immigrate glass craftsman. Ones that appeared dark purple, and vibrant violet under black light.Added pieces from Cambridge Rose Pt., Duncan Miller, and Fostoria June pattern. Some green Hobnail & blue pattern Hotmail milk glass. I bought more than I'd sold. My trips to Sweden to see family, I started to collect both Swedish & Finnish glassware (modern, yet timeless).

    Great content . My parents grew up during the depression and they both called it carnival glass . A carnival would come to town and these were used as prizes you could win , by pitching pennies into them , bursting balloons with darts and other games . They would then use them at home as most people didn't have the extra money to buy them .

It is beautiful in a table scape when paired with gold flatware. I really don’t care what is worth…it is priceless to me and my children. We also collect all colors and patterns.

    As a collector myself I’m not really looking for “worth”, as a seller, yes but as a collector all I really care about is if it’s old and if it makes me happy... it is a thrill to find rare pieces that I know are rare and worth money but it’s not the most important thing to me... if I find a piece I don’t already have in my collection chances are I’m gonna have a hard time parting with it and will likely keep it 😂 cuz I’m a vintage hoarder and I can’t help it lol Vaseline is my favorite and the variety I collect the most of. But I love it all... what can I say I have a problem lol 🤷🏻‍♀️

    I love green glass, used to grab anything I could find, and for awhile, there was lots at garage sales and thrift stores. I didn't even care if the piece had a chip. Then, I was given some unwanted pieces of the Roulette pattern from a co-worker. And, since I did already have a few dishes in that pattern, I rid myself of the mismatched &/or chipped pieces, and focused on finding more Roulette pattern dishes. Hmph. They are hard to find, even in antique stores. I can, & have purchased a few on E-bay, but by & large, it's pricier than I care to spend, especially considering they just sit on my open shelves collecting grime and dust.

    I've recently started collecting uranium glass. After showing my interest and going hunting at antique and thrift stores, my mom is now interested!! It's a nice mutual hobby to have, and we got so freaking excited last night!! She got her glass figurines out that were passed down through family, and we found two uranium pieces!! A blue and white Rosso Colonial Charlotte and a Rosso vaseline glass rocking horse. I was also gifted a two-piece hobnail uranium glass lamp a year ago, but I know nothing about it. I think I have a couple of other uv reactive pieces, but my little flashlight doesn't seem to make the colors pop like it does to the uranium.

    I have a large collection of green Cherry Blossom depression glass, that started with a green Cherry Blossom cake plate i inherited from my grandmother. And so the hunt began! When green Cherry Blossom got harder to find, i bought pink Cherry Blossom. I also have a large collection of pink American Sweetheart which i inherited from my mother-in-law.

    I inherited some green depression glass from my mother and grandmother. It's made by the Indiana Glass Company and the name is Avocado. I do have some pieces in pink, yellow and amber. Sometimes it is referred to as Sweet Pear. I don't see it often and was wondering it was really worth anything.

    Thanks for this, Mike - I'd never heard of the Canary Yellow Depression glass before! I enjoy using Depression glass with my china - green looks so nice with Lenox Holiday (there's a light green holly leaf in this pattern) and green and pink look nice with my two antique Noritake patterns.

    I love depression glass so much! Even if it's not "worth" much, but like you it's the history of it that I love so much. I have 4 dinner plates in the Patrician Amber design and color. I layer them with my grandmother's china. I want to add onto my collection and I'd love some green or pink pieces to mix in with the amber as those would look great with the floral pattern on the china. Thank you so much for another interesting and informative video!

    I collect glass, started with paper weights, then some Greenfield Village hand blown glass, Murano glass, glass flowers, and antique bottles. You are the first person I've heard describe the uranium glass, which I recently learned about. I also collect unique elephants. I have 3 pieces of uranium glass, 2 of which combine my elephant collection. I got all three pieces locally (I live in Lathrup Village Michigan). Unfortunately I cannot attach a photo here. I collect things I like and that make my home more personal and interesting, I don't intend to sell any of my collections. I'm looking forward to visiting your store this summer!

    My grandmother was young during the great depression.
    She would tell me how they wouldn't have enough money for meat so they would put hard boiled eggs in the sauce.
    She hated it when she got older but would do it when I was younger during Thanksgiving and Christmas so she could remember how good she had it when she was 60.

    It's definitely cheaper now and it would be a good time to buy...., It seems like something that will never go through the roof and will likely just hold it's value , I would say the prices have been stable for 25 years at least..., Definitely don't buy it to make money, buy it because you like it and focus on a few patterns at least in the beginning that way you won't buy anything that's not old.. Because prices are low now however maybe it is a good time to go after the rarer patters or the higher end depression glass that was manufactured more as art glass by others not Hocking Anchor/ Federal,,,, however , even here the prices are more.... I suppose stable is the best way to look at it... As far as using it , the cups and saucers are very useable but the dinner plates are a bit heavy

    Grandma gave me 8 Fiber Optic green Depression glass ice cream dishes -- dessert dishes on pedestals. I just checked them and two others of similar, but not matching pattern, and they all glow green under black light which means they are Vaseline or Uranium glass. Not so sure if they are safe to eat out of, though we would be served ice cream in them in the 1950s when we were kids. I suppose I could sell them in eBay....I should probably get a Depression glass value book to see how much I could get for them...

    Old Colony Anchor Hocking in pink. There was a bowl that my paternal grandmother inherited from her mother in law. She gave it to my mother when my parents were married. We were not allowed to touch it. We held it in such reverence. I didn't inherit it, unfortunately. But I went and bought another one. It may be a reproduction, but I don't really care. I'll never sell it. I didn't realize it was depression glass or that there were any more pieces that matched it.
