I am sharing with you this week...
a pink poppy card from my aunt...
a pink floral doily...
and one of my King's Crown desserts...
also known as Thumbprint...
the original King's Crown molds were owned by Tiffin Glass Co.,...
Tiffin, Ohio...
they produced many colors...
including Ruby...
which is what I collect...
it is a darker red flashing...
the color is flashed on and is easily scratched...
when the molds were sold to Indiana Glass Co.,...
they continued in manufacturing the pieces in many different colors...
but their version of ruby came out lighter...
thus the cranberry color...
gold dust is required to get the red color in glass...
the more the dust, the darker the red...
Indiana glass did not use as much...
finding it cheaper, I suppose...
a dear old dealer friend told me that that is why the red glass is more expensive in any style of depression glass...
and more sought out...
she taught me so much about glassware...
it was her specialty...
and her name was Ruby...
with a mane of red hair...
cherish those older dealers...
they have more information than you could ever find in a book...
they lived through it...
they know...
they remember...
she would have loved PINK SATURDAY !
Happy Pink Saturday!
