This is not something that I normally would find at the Goodwill. It is American Heritage and you can see a better picture of it HERE. I've been collecting this line of depression glass for about 30 years.You see, when my Mom passed away, I found cups and saucers of this design.
So naturally I tried to find more to add to the cups and saucers that she had. It seems to be a hard line to find, as I've looked everywhere from Florida to Chicago, with not a whole lot of success. There are similar designs, but not all are American Heritage.
I have found a round platter, and a large serving bowl, an orphan saucer or cup every now and then. So whenever I stop in an antique mall, I keep an eye out for something to add to my collection.
Once, a couple of years ago, I found a cup in the first booth when we entered an antique shop. It was a rather large store, and the further back I went I came across an orphan saucer. Yipee..... but that is not all. On further investigation, there was a pile of dishes all marked 1/2 off. It was there that I found these -
What a very nice addition to my collection.Today I am joining up with -

That i a very pretty pattern. It may take awhile, but if you keep looking eventually you will find them.
That is a pretty pattern...I think we may have a few pieces of that put away somewhere with our "keep" glass...it looks really familiar to me...it's wonderful that you found such a great deal on some pieces to add to your collection!
Big hugs,
