Description
Vintage Pink Depression Glass Princess Pattern 10.5" Dinner Plate, Hocking Glass. The Color: A soft, warm "Rose Pink" that remains vibrant and transparent. Capture a piece of American history with this stunning Pink Depression Glass Dinner Plate in the iconic Princess pattern. Produced by the Hocking Glass Company during the height of the Great Depression (1931–1935), this plate features the delicate "Mayfair-style" scrollwork and octagonal silhouette that defined the Art Deco aesthetic of the early 1930s. This is the large 10.5-inch service plate, which is more substantial and highly collected than the smaller luncheon or salad plates. Design Details: The Pattern: Intricate lacy swags and scrolled medallions border the rim, meeting at each of the eight points of the octagonal frame. The Center: A striking sunburst/floral medallion that catches the light beautifully. The Color: A soft, warm "Rose Pink" that remains vibrant and transparent. Condition Report: Clarity: Excellent transparency with no clouding or "dishwasher haze." Structural Integrity: No chips, cracks, or flea bites along the delicate scalloped edges. Surface: Very minimal signs of vintage wear. (Note: As is common with glass from this era, minor factory "straw marks" or tiny air bubbles may be present, which are characteristic of the original mold-pressing process and not considered damage).
