Collecting Vintage Glassware

"So Many Pretty Colors!"

February 2024

I collect antique creamers, nineteenth century books, depression glass, anything that is mid-century modern, and Coro jewelry. So, many ask: "How do I start? What should I collect?" I will say there is an "art" to glass collecting. If you decide glass is what you want to collect, read up on the glass periods and become familiar with patterns. Like my passion for painted furniture, I love colored glass which was popular in both the Art Deco (depression era) and Mid-Century (elegant period) periods. The pink glasses (right) are my 1920s Art Deco Etched Fry Glass Pink Cocktail Glasses. They belonged to my mother.
