I found this 9.5 inch "Iris" depression glass bowl at a garage sale the other day.
They were asking next-to-nothing for it, so it came home with me.
I love the pattern.
The flowers really stand out beautifully against the herringbone striped background.
(It is often referred to as Iris-Herringbone.)
The bowl matches my Iris pitcher, which I've had for years
and have shown in previous blog posts.
and have shown in previous blog posts.
"Iris" was made by the Jeannette Glass Company (Pennsylvania)
starting in 1928 and re-issued in 1969.
A few pieces were made in green and pink, but most were in crystal and iridescent-amber.
I know some of you gals are glass collectors, too.
And I'd love to learn more about this pattern from you.
It's so pretty - what a lovely thing to find!

Lucky you. I also am so happy when I found treasures on the fleamarkets.... How simple life could be!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! The two pieces are lovely together.
ReplyDeleteYour "Iris" glass bowl is lovely and the fact that it matches your pitcher - even better. I must get out this weekend and do some treasure hunting at the local yard sales. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy aunt collects the Iris pattern too and has for about 30 years. She has tons of this glassware in her curved from china closet and it is just beautiful. The only thing she hasn't been able to find is the coasters, I understand they are somewhat rare!
ReplyDeleteI have a bowl, vase and serving plate in the amber that my husbands grandmother gave us.
Such a pretty pattern!

ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious bowl that is - I bet it looks lovely with something deliciouso in it (I sometimes sprinkle food colouring in water and float flowers on top in a bowl!)

I love your bowl. I have my mom iris pitcher that she got as a wedding gift in the mid 60's. I have seen the bowl but have not purchased it. I think I know where one is now and I curious to find out what it sells for. Sounds like you got an awesome deal.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful thing to find at a sale!
I have a platter in the marigold (amber) color that my mom bought at the Ben Franklin store in Mt. Vernon Missouri in the late 40's. She worked there as her first job. I just love it. Thanks for sharing yours.
ReplyDeleteThis beautiful bowl is a fabulous find! I love the pattern.
