Got the Georgian Lovebirds Green Depression Glass Listed!

Way back on St. Patrick's Day, about 3 weeks ago, my post was about our Georgian Lovebirds depression glass and how I needed to get busy and get it listed. Well, it's finally done. Today I got the dinner plates, smaller lunch and bread and butter plates listed, this nice serving bowl and saucers all listed on both eBay and TIAS.

That's a load off my to-do list!

Georgian is by Federal Glass and is notable for its charming design of triangular shapes joined with swags. Each triangle holds a basket of flowers or a pair of birds, thus the common name Lovebirds. This is mold-etched depression glass. Federal used metal molds that they etched the design into, then they could mass produce the pieces via pressing. Thus the design is raised on the piece, not etched into the glass as the fancier elegant glass has.
Take a look on our stores for these great pieces!

Georgian Green Depression Glass - St. Patrick's Day

Somewhere near the top of my endless to-do list is getting these plates listed. I bought several pieces of Georgian green depression glass last fall and so far have listed - and sold - exactly one piece. Georgian sells well and all my pieces are in great shape, so there's no reason not to get it done. (Except for the other bazillion things also on the list that clamor for time!)

This pattern is also called Lovebirds. You can't see it well in this photo, but those triangular designs alternate with baskets and two birds. The birds sort of look like parakeets, and it's a neat design. This is one of the mold-etched depression patterns from Federal Glass where the design was incised into the mold itself, which then could be used just like any other pressed glass mold to make pieces with fancy designs quickly and cheaply, with little hand work.

Check my store - oh, maybe this weekend - for my set of Lovebirds to fly in!
