The Jeannette Glass Company made Doric Depression Glass from 1935 until 1938. Made in green, pink, yellow and a few opaque colors (rare). Once again the standard depression glass colors of pink and green are the most often collected colors for Doric.
The opaque delphite blue is quite rare and the few items that have turned up can be quite valuable. It’ unlikely you’ll come across any but keep your eyes open you never know.

Dogwood, Pattern “B”, Apple Blossom, Wild Rose, Magnolia, just what is it? It’s correct name is “Dogwood” and it was made by the MacBeth-Evans Glass Company from 1929 to 1934. A very large flower etching Dogwood came in a multitude of colors including pink, red, green, cremax, crystal, monax and yellow.
Like most other depression glass patterns, pink and green are the colors that are sought out for Dogwood. The other colors (including Cremax and Monax) while more difficult to find do not have a large demand by collectors.

Diana is a depression glass pattern made by the Federal Glass Company from 1937 to 1941. The colors it came in were green, pink, crystal and amber. As with other depression glass patterns pink is the collectors choice. Hard to find items in the Diana pattern are the salt and pepper set, candy jar and tumblers.
Because it is a swirled pattern Diana is a patten that can be confused with other depression glass patterns that feature a swirled design. As with collecting any depression glass, do your research before buying.
Beware of the pink bowl that was reproduced in 1987.

The Imperial Glass Company made Diamond Quilted during the 1920′s and into the 1930′s. Some depression glass collectors refer to Diamond Quilted as “Flat Diamond”. The patterns are one and the same. Many colors were produced crystal, blue, green pink, black, amber and red. Not all pieces are available in all colors so check before beginning to build a set. Green, pink and maybe blue will be your best bet for building a set without too much trouble. Diamond Quilted is popular yet still affordable for a budget minded collector. The Diamond Quilted punch bowl is probably the most expensive item in the line.
