Looking for jadeite green glass dishes?

August 22, 2011 1 Comment

 

Let me help!

Did you receive your September 2011 issue of Martha Stewart Living?   In it, there is an enchanting article on page 138 that delves into the jadeite green class collection of Martha Stewart and her daughter, Alexis.

According to the article, “during the Depression, when housewives couldn’t afford to waste a crumb, glassware companies turned out inexpensive jadeite containers for flour, salt, and other ingredients.”

Charming!

As any collectable, some pieces are harder to locate, such as green glass butter dishes with lids.

Do you have any of these beautiful green dishes?

Interested in starting your own collection?

All you have to do is look around!  Garage sales, flea markets, your relative’s cabinets, and ebay to name a few.

Actually, I found a place locally that has a decent collection to check out:  The Tontitown Flea Market (apparently the first and original flea market to hit Tontitown), is located on the southside of Hwy 412E.  An easy drive from just about anywhere in Northwest Arkansas.  Open daily from 9-5.

Check out these two booths and their green glass collection.  Aren’t they gorgeous?

The benefit of these green dishes is their stability along with their appealing green tone.

One more thing… if you find a darker green dish, that’s extra credit for you because they are more rare.

Happy hunting!

Eat well, my friends.  Eat well.

    oops, I have a confession.

    After writing this I went back and bought all the little small jadeite saucer plates. I got to thinking that they would be perfect for appetizer plates!

    Sorry if you were looking for them. My bad.

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
