Depression Glass Candy Jars - Doric Pink and Others

Isn't this pretty? This is the footed candy jar in Jeannette's pink depression glass Doric pattern. This is a traditional look for a candy jar - footed, round, with a tall lid topped off with a finial. The Doric pattern alternates plain squares with squares that have a stylized design in the corners. Even the finial has the little squares, making it just the perfect touch.

Jeannette Glass made Doric from 1935 to 1938, primarily in pink but you can find green and some pieces in delphite opaque blue. We've had mostly pink here in mid-Michigan.

One interesting piece that is far more common is the 3-part flat candy that is shaped like a pansy blossom. It surprises me that this is considered part of the Doric line instead of part of the similar Doric and Pansy, but that's what it is. You may find this in pink, ultramarine and delphite blue, but by far the most common is an iridescent carnival like color. Jeannette remade the flat candy in iridescent glass during the 1970s. We show the delphite blue candy.
