I am a keeper, but not a collector. A collector might find this lovely glass and purchase it to add to a shelf with other depression glass treasures. That person would probably know whether this is called pink or peach, the name of the pattern, and just how much it is worth. I know none of those things. I only know I love to hold the glass, and use it for a "feel better" boost by filling it with iced tea or lemonade when I need to feel a little pampered. I have only one other piece of a similar color and vintage, a cracked candy bowl, which was once owned by the person who gave the footed tumbler. I don't even think depression glass when I take it out of the china cabinet. This was my grandmother's favorite buttermilk glass! So that is what I call it - the buttermilk glass. She liked to fill it with cold buttermilk and sometimes crumbled cornbread in to eat with a spoon. It has been mine for many years now. I wonder if one of my granddaughters will one day call it "the lemonade glass?" For more story about Grandma Terrell -
