Pink American Sweetheart Depression Glass Tablescape

Another tablescape featuring Depression Glass this week - this time Pat used American Sweetheart by the MacBeth-Evans Glass Company. Manufactured from 1930 to 1936, the pattern is a soft pink color. The dinnerware looks fragile and quite delicate but it is extraordinarily long lasting and strong as shown by how much of it is still available.
Pat started with another floral place mat that we found at Amazon - this one is slightly off-white with tones of pink.




The plates are scalloped and the pressed center design has been described as "intricate paisleys, scrolls and curlicue shapes" Shown here is a salad plate, dinner plate, and acting as the charger, a 12" salver.
The light pink and silver beaded napkin ring is from Pier 1 years ago
Flatware is "April" silverplate by Wm. Rogers & Son
The similar-in-shape glassware is an assortment of Depression Ware patterns

The very large centerpiece bowl is almost 14" across and is exceedingly heavy. Lined with both a sage and a chiffon napkin, it holds baby pink ornaments

Where it came from:
Soft Pink Floral Place Mats - from Amazon this year
Dinnerware - Pink "American Sweetheart" Depression Glass by MacBeth Evans Glass Co. from any antique store we could find it, Replacements,Ltd. and eBay
