I insisted my heroine needed red hair so they did change it from blonde. Sorry I beat you to it - I had no idea! I'd forgotten all about DUZ. What a blast from the past.

My mother loved glass collecting and gave me several pieces. I’d need to study which ones are true Depression glass, but I have pink and green. I wish I’d written down the information my mother shared with me. Fun to see the pictures of your treasures!Sherida Stewarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986466218366625633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-58084166132570651252020-06-26T17:48:30.674-04:002020-06-26T17:48:30.674-04:00I have five pieces of Depression glass that have b...I have five pieces of Depression glass that have been in my family for generations, and my sister has some of it. I do remember getting it in boxes of DUZ detergent in the late 1940's and during WWII. The theater story reminded me of my grandmother. She'd get a piece and carefully wrap and place it in her handbag to take home and add to her collection. Mother loved it and collected it. What I have is from my mother and a friend. I have four pink pieces and one milky white piece I love. I use one of the pink bowls often for fruit salad. The others are on display in my china cabinet. <br /><br />I had to laugh when I saw your couple because it's the couple I wanted for my book Cookin' Up Trouble, but then decided her dress was too fancy. Got the same cowboy and lady, but she's in a beige top and white shirt and in her kitchen. Then Cynthia told me we would have had to change anyway since you were using it for your book. Martha W.

I remember my mother buying a certain type of detergent during the 60s because there was a free dish towel inside.

Yesterday I found 3 pieces at a half-price sale--2 American Prescut, the other one is a much older divided relish dish and I don't know the pattern.

I love my grandmother's Depression Glass because it's my "inheritance" from her. I don't really add to my collection from antique stores, etc. as I want to know all my pieces were Grandma's, but I do use a beautiful DG bowl my husband gave me for drawings at book signings.

It's so beautiful and you will remember your grandmother every time you look at it.
