Description
Lovely vintage Pink Depression Glass serving bowl in the highly sought-after 'Cherry Blossom' pattern by Jeannette Glass. This round bowl features double open handles, a scalloped rim, and intricate pressed floral and fruit detailing on the underside that shows through the glass. Measurements are approximately 9 inches from handle to handle.
Key Features
Iconic pattern; Jeanette Glass is highly collectible; high demand pink colorway; delicate scalloped edges; double handle design.
Authenticity Indicators
The pattern detail is sharp; the pink has the correct salmon-undertone. Confidence: High. Note: This pattern was reproduced in the 1970s; authentic 1930s pieces usually have more detail in the cherry leaves.
Flaws to Note
Look for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the inner rim where a lid would sit. This item was originally the bottom of a casserole/covered dish; missing the lid reduces value by roughly 40-50%.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay or Etsy are best for reaching collectors. Facebook Marketplace is good for local sales to avoid the risky shipping of fragile glass.
Selling Tips
Use the words 'Grandmacore' or 'Cottagecore' in keywords. Back-light the glass in photos to show the pattern clarity. Over-pack with double-boxing if shipping to prevent breakage.
