ANYONE COLLECT DEPRESSION GLASS CALLED JADITE?

[Sara77]

Hi all, I was just wondering if there are any freaky jadite collectors on here like myself. I have a growing collection of the stuff and would love to find a piece in a dump!

Sara,
I would cruise the local thrift stores. I find all kinds of depression glass/pressed glass there and it's mucho cheap Check out the garage sale finds under finds in local dump thrift stores. Anyway scroll to the bottom for a peak at the depression glass / jadite bowls somebody posted. You can start posting some of your cool finds too Happy hunting

That's me acevillav is referring to. I found a few pieces of jadeite and some green depression glass not too long ago a a thrift store for $1 and less, scroll down to reply # 42 in this thread-http://forum.treasurenet.com/index.p...c,14520.0.html

Nice finds Diggum! I read that post and liked your grill pans, I just didn't get to the bottom to see the jadite finds. You did really good, I've found a few pieces for a dime at the thrift shop I volunteer at but it takes some serious luck! If you sell that lot on ebay I think it should fetch at least 30-50 dollars for the lot, should be more if you split it up as long as there aren't chips or cracks.

Sara,
Yes I collect it, and have a nice growing collection, I will post some pics after my move, I personally like Fire Kings Jadite Restaurant Ware, And have been lucky to find several pieces at yardsales and such, you either steal it for a dirt cheap price, or they want an arm and a leg,

I don't collect depression glass as a hobby...but I do like shiny stuff..
got these at a yard sale..I think they are depression glass, but not really sure..anyone know?...thanks

[Sara77]

Those are REALLY pretty. They look like depression glass but I've never seen any that color. My mother-in-law collects pink and my cousin collects amber. Those definitely look like theirs, just a different color. If you sell them let me know what they are and what they went for!

Nice! I am definately no expert, but I would say those two pieces are depression glass.

The color is often refered to as topaz.

Being that they are etched patterns, they make me think of fostoria, but I am still trying to figure out who does the waffle bottoms. I see it alot.

I am at thrift stores almost daily, and I come across quite a bit of depression glass. Ofcourse most of the thrift stores around here have a general idea of what depressoin glass is, I can still usually find some awesome deals.

This is actually my first post in the T net forums, but I am going to be posting alot of my finds here!

Could find no matches to your bowl in Warman's Depression Glass nor in Florence's glassware of the 40's, 50's, 60's. Keep looking.

As for the glass bowl and plate...I still have them...Showed them to guy that was selling depression glass at a flea market and he said they might be Jubilee ....He offered me 20 dollars for both of them...Thanks for the replies anywhoo...
