I love milk glass but when I saw pink milk glass I adored it. It is actually called Jeanette Glass. It is very pale pink with gorgeous details. I picked roses to display in the footed dish.h, goblet, cookie jar, candlesticks, bowls, compotes, vases, puff arette
These two pieces were my aunt's. They had been stored for years. I didn't know what was in the boxes when my aunt gave them to me. Once I saw the contents I was so thrilled that it was Jeanette Glass.
The compote dish has a wnderful bead design around the edge. I added a few rose petals and water.
This Shell Pink design was introduced in 1958 and discontinued in 1959. These pieces were created around the time I was born in 1959! They are old :)
This is the scallop design around the top edge of the footed dish. I took the flowers out for a second to show the delicate border.
I have seen very few Jeanette Glass pieces in antique shops/booths I have visited. About a year ago I spotted a footed cake stand but it was too pricey for my budget.
I will just cherish these two pieces I have and wonder what my aunt used them for ... did she put flowers in the footed dish or soaps in the compote...
Thanks for visiting!
Hugs,
Donna

So very pretty. Have a great day!Michele
They are lovely! I'd never heard of the pink!
The roses are gorgeous.
How pretty, I have never seen pink milk glass. I have quite a bit of the white Fenton and Westmoreland. Cindy over at Retro Revival posted last week about using her milk glass for everyday purposes, such a good idea.
Very pretty = thanks for sharing. I have seen the pink before, but not often.Beautiful roses.
Donna,
Love pink. I love all that "vintage stuff" and if the price is realistic, I bring it home and I do use around the house. Thanks for sharing yours which you displayed beautifully with the roses.

As my aunt used to say, "If it's pink, it's pretty!" And, I'm more vintage than you-ha!♥♫

Lovely! I think my grandma had something like that too.
Has a vintage-feel to it. And the roses give it a warm homely touch.
Love it.
