Description
Lovely vintage Pink Depression Glass serving dish or casserole bottom in the famous 'Cherry Blossom' pattern by Jeannette Glass. Features a scalloped rim, tab handles, and a detailed floral/leaf motif pressed into the base and edges. Approx 9 inches across handles. This piece radiates a warm rose-pink glow and is a staple for any Depression-era glass collector.
Key Features
Highly collectible 'Cherry Blossom' pattern; desirable pink colorway; iconic 1930s Americana history; scalloped edge detail; tab handles make it functional for modern serving.
Authenticity Indicators
The pattern detail should be crisp. Authentic Jeannette Cherry Blossom has specific petal counts in the flowers; reproductions exist but usually have 'muddier' details and different handle shapes. Confidence level: High (based on color and handle mold).
Flaws to Note
Look for small chips on the interior rim (where a lid would sit) or the scalloped edges. Check for 'utensil marks' (scratches) in the center floral design. Manufacturing bubbles or 'straw marks' are normal and not considered damage.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage aesthetics), eBay (best for glass collectors), or a high-end Antique Mall booth. Facebook Marketplace is viable but may yield lower prices.
Selling Tips
Backlight the glass with a soft light source to show the pink glow. Use 'Jeannette Glass', 'Cherry Blossom Pink', and '1930s' in the title. Mention that it will be double-boxed for shipping to ensure it arrives safely—glass buyers prioritize shipping security.
