It's Pinkday, AKA Pink Saturday, hosted by Beverly at How Sweet the Sound. Beverly has asked us to visit a new-to-us participant and showcase them in our post the following week. Last week I visited Just a Little Zizzy. The name caught my eye, and then when I visited she had some gorgeous flower photos. Please take the time to visit and comment at both Beverly's and Zizzybob's blogs.
This is one of my pink Depression Glass platters. It is pretty small, about the size of a regular dinner plate, but it is considered a platter because of the handles. If you enlarge the picture you'll see that the handles are not hollowed out, just thinner glass pressed by the mold, which I think is interesting.
I have a lot of Depression Glass, some of which I don't really care about, but this one is special to me because it was my bridesmaid gift from my sister. She and her hubby enjoy wandering antique stores, although they don't buy much for themselves, and happened across this. She thought it was a nice idea to give me something original along with the jewelry all the girls were receiving, and I totally agree!

In a heart beat, I could start a major collection of pink depression glass. Looks like your pretty plate just became an heirloom. Enjoy your pink day.

Pretty/pretty pink plate. And I see you have a blender as old as my Oster. But if it works but has lost its lid it sure isn't enough to toss it quite yet.

I love it-it's very interesting and so sweet how you acquired it. I have loved Depression glass for years, and have some that belonged to my late grandparents, aunts, etc....and have some reproduction dinner ware as well.

That is a really beautiful plate. I never cared much for things like this in my younger days but I have learned to appreciate all kinds of art in my older (not old!) age.

Happy Belated Pink Saturday
