Janice - New Martinsville's Elegant Depression Glass

Janice is one of New Martinsville's elegant glass patterns that is often classified as depression glass. You may find it with various etches and in colors like blue or red. This bowl here is crystal and one of the less common shapes. It is about 11 inches across with a ruffled rim.

Janice is a molded design with a prominent drape design on the lower portion. The base is ground and formed by little scallops. It's a nice pattern that deserves more appreciation!

Burple - Horrible Name for Nice Depression Glass!

This nice pattern with an icky name has curved ribs between rows of dots in ascending sizes. It is quite attractive and has a vintage look. The pattern name? Burple. Isn't that an awful name for something nice?

This is from Hocking Glass during the depression. All we have ever seen here were the bowls, usually the larger bowl, about 8 inches across as shown here. Replacements shows two sizes of plates and a cup and saucer in addition to this larger bowl and small individual bowls. You are most likely to find this in clear but Hocking also made Royal Ruby and Forest Green. We had the green and it is quite attractive but to my mind doesn't show off the deco style as well as the clear.
