Depression Glass Toy Mixing Bowl Set
« on: July 05, 2009, 01:14:10 PM »
I am wondering if this set of tiny nesting mixing bowls is vintage or modern reproduction.  No markings at all.  Anyone know who made it and when?
Thanks as always,
Charles.

Try testing it with a UV light, looks to me as if it might glow very bright green. In which case, it's probably 1930s. It is also highly likely to be from the US - toy glass kitchen/table ware seems to have been quite the thing there.

Thanks Christine.  The same thing occurred to me.  :thup:  But ... no glow.  :'(  

One concern of mine is a lack of wear, all the more troubling because toys tend to get played with.  Hopefully somebody out there has the answer.
