Depression dessert dishes, I have 10 of these.
Above and below, Depression Serving Bowl.. Hard to believe these dishes were distributed free during the Great Depression...
A joyful heart is like good medicine, a broken spirit will make one sick..... get ready to laugh..
Doc, you've got to help me! I keep having these two dreams: in the first one I'm a wigwam; in the second I'm a teepee.
You need a vacation, you're too tense.

Funny!
I love these dishes and your photos are super. How special that they were your mom's.
Your Depression dessert dishes are lovely and it is wonderful that they were your mother's. They are highly collectible now.
ha ha on the joke.
i like the tint of those dishes.
Beautiful dishes!!! Great Photography.
Too tents!!! Ha.
Those are beautiful dishes, and so are the photos! (Does Bob ever ask you what on earth you're doing?? Just wondering, cuz my husband used to ask and doesn't anymore. He figures that every photo will show up on my blog. lol)
Do you think during the next Depression they will be handing out beautiful glassware like that. ;-) I hear that they're thinking of minting a trillion dollar coin to help pay down the debt. So maybe they can coin another one and buy us all beautiful dishes. :-)
Love the dishes AND the joke!!
Beautiful dishes. Hard to believe that they were free way back when.
The joke was funny
So besides being distributed in the depression what else makes it a depression glass - like the print or the etching? sandie
Gorgeous shots!
I absolutely LOVE your new header. The juxtaposition of old desk and new tech is sublime.
Ooooh, nice. This year I bought a piece of depression glass for $2 at an old style 5&10 (mix of new and old stuff). Then I walked down the street and saw the same piece at an antique store for $30. I was very happy.
I love that depression glass. My Mom used to have square plates that would have matched these bowls,unfortunately,I have no idea where they ended up.
Beautiful dishes --and your photos are GREAT.... Love that 2nd one... wow!!!
Hugs,

Love your heirloom depression glass. The bowls are so pretty!!
I like those lights and shadows!

Pictures one, four, and the last are my favorites! I just went through some of my mom's old dishes and have a few of these. I didn't know what they were, are they valuable? I am trying to sell some stuff, like a solid silver flatware set with mother of pearl handles and goblets with thick gold around them. I have boxes and boxes of dishes. No antique malls will buy them and I don't know how to find out their worth. Do you ever use yours? So glad to see you posting early tonight!!
Love the term "sun puddle" the shots are great with the shadow patterns and the light on the glass wear. I wondered why they were called depression bowls. It is great that you still have them.
You are so much fun!
I love the look of the old Depression glassware. It certainly gave off some beautiful reflections. The reflection in the last photo from the bottom looks like a seashell.
I love depression glass. I have a few things of my grandmother's here. Nobody's going to know what that is in years to come.
Cool photos....great joke...
"Sun Puddle" Photography! Have you coined a great new term?????
A "Sun Puddle" does great things! We just need to remember to use them, when we see them!
Lovely soft pink depression glass, btw.

Your Moms depression glass dishes are lovely, Sandra.
Smiling :) thanks!
Thanks for the smile! Love the dishes!
Absolutely beautiful bowls
I love how the sun shines through them.
Hugs madi and mom
You have a set of moulded glass dishes! Again I treasure all my moulded glass. Do you remember my dish containing sweets a few posts back? That is a heart-shaped moulded fruit dish. Your photos of glass are prettier and the shadows interesting. They inspire me to try again with photographing mine.
I sure am glad that you snapped away in your kitchen. These photos are wonderful. I really like the third picture. The bowl is beautiful, and you've capture the details very well.
Lucky you to have inherited these lovely dishes! PLUS they were perfect photo ops!
Just wanted you to know your comment on my post "Made by Hand" made me laugh! Thanks for being a faithful friend!
Lovely dishes- you are so lucky to have them, and especially so many of the same set!
I've been cleaning cupboards this week and many of my dishes belonged to either my grandmother or mother. There is very little depression glass though. These are especially pretty.
Those dishes and bowls are beautiful, and nice reflections.
first off, i love the post title.
your mom's glass dishes are just lovely!
the photos are simply gorgeous!
great work on the lighting too.
I enjoy the joy you feel when you find photo opportunities.:) The depression dishes are lovely as are the shadows you captured so well. :)
I'm sitting here trying not to cry. The little joke at the end about the teepee and the wigwam and two tense took me right back to many years ago when our son was still alive and his little boy, our grandson Noah, was quite young, but old enough to tell us this joke. I had forgotten that until I saw this, and it just took me right back to happier times and fun days with our family. Thank you for sending me back from the future to see these old posts of yours...I've been enjoying every one of them, but this one got to me. The depression glass bowls are beautiful, btw.
