This is the footed sugar bowl in Hazel Atlas' cobalt blue depression glass. The pattern is Newport and also called Hairpin. You can find Newport in cobalt and amethyst depression glass. Hazel Atlas used these molds with their colored Platonite opaque glass during the 1950s but it is apparently not common here in mid-Michigan as we've never seen it!
Newport is a neat shape with the design causing small scallops in the rim that are echoed in the foot of this sugar. The blue is especially attractive; to me the amethyst lacks sparkle.
If you like blue or amethyst glass, consider Newport as your pattern of choice!
