Pieces
Depression Glass - The Rare Pieces. Did you know that if you
happen to have a crystal (clear) and pink Depression Glass
refrigerator bowl in the Crisscross pattern in good
condition and with its original cover, that it's valued at
between $300 and $335? Or that Shirley Temple cream pitcher
your grandmother keeps in the back of her upper cabinet
could bring up to $1,250 at auction? If you didn't, then
you've been in the dark about rare Depression Glass pieces
and their values! Here are a few pieces for which
knowledgeable Depression Glass collectors stay on constant
lookout: The Ruby Red Aladdin Beehive Lamp Made for only six
months during 1937, this lamp currently brings anywhere
from $700 to $950 - if it can be found! Most collectors
owning this piece understandably do not have any interest
in letting go of it, which makes it even rarer. The color
of the glass in the Aladdin series of ruby lamps varies
from a light red with an amber tint to dark, rich red, with
the deeper reds fetching more interest with today's
collectors.
