the only one I had, one of my Grandmother's. It is pink, with flat bottom, and came in a couple of sizes. I have seen them online, but they are really overpriced. Are you familiar with it, and do you have one?

Actually, I don't know much about vintage glass. I'm selling my mom's and grandma's items to pay some bills.

I would keep checking on Ebay. You can set up a specific search and Ebay will send you an email notification when one pops up. Hope that helps some!

I haven't looked in a long time, but it used to be near $100 each time I found one. I think I should start checking more often, maybe Depression glass has gone down in price.

Your pieces are very beautiful, and I hope you sell them quickly at a good price.

Depression glass has gone down to the point that I'm selling it for much less than my parents/grandmother paid for them 40+ years ago. It's depressing (another dumb pun, lol!)

Thanks so much for the good wishes! It means a lot.
