The Belmont
Tumbler Company held the patent for Rose Cameo, and only
six pieces of this design made it to the marketplace: a
plate, a footed sherbet, a footed tumbler, a berry bowl,
and a 5-inch and 6-inch bowl. Because Belmont manufactured
only tumblers and was trying to recover from a massive
fire, experts speculate the actual production of this rare
design happened at the Hazel-Atlas Glass Company, only a
few miles away. A six-piece set of tumblers ? the pattern
was only made in green ? in mint condition can be had for
between $150 and $175 (prices may have changed since I wrote
this).
The Jeanette Glass Company breaks all records for coming up
with the most patterns. Jeanette made 11 patterns of
Depression glass between 1928 and 1946: Sunburst, Homespun,
Swirl, Doric and Pansy, Windsor, Sunflower, Doric, Adam,
Sierra, Floral, and Cherry Blossom.
And then at the other end of the spectrum, the Fenton Glass
Company produced only a single pattern of Depression glass
? the Lincoln Inn.
Of the 200+ patterns of Depression glass created, footed
salt and pepper shakers from Hocking?s Mayfair design
demand some of the very highest prices.
