Description
A beautiful vintage pink Depression glass saucer in the 'Homespun' pattern by Jeannette Glass. This piece features a distinct waffle-like or fine grid pattern on the wide rim with a smooth center well. Measuring approximately 6 inches in diameter, the soft 'Rose' pink color is a classic example of late 1930s tableware.
Key Features
Authentic Depression-era item; popular pale pink colorway; desirable geometric grid pattern; highly collectible manufacture period.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence; the Homespun pattern is distinctive to Jeannette. Authentic pieces have specific weight and delicate pink hue; color should not be sprayed-on.
Flaws to Note
Look for 'flea bites' (tiny chips) along the rim and 'straw marks' (cooling lines from manufacturing). Check for cloudy 'sick glass' caused by dishwasher damage.

Where to Sell
Etsy (vintage niche), eBay (collectors), or Replacements.com (specialty buyer).
Selling Tips
Backlight the glass in photos to show the pattern clarity and color. Use keywords like 'Antique Pink Glass', 'Jeannette Homespun', and '1930s Kitchen'. Ship with double-boxing as this glass is fragile.
