Yep.

My wife collects (and uses) Depression Glass. That's the Anchor Hocking stuff
they used to give away at "dish night" at the movie theaters, in 20 lb sacks of
flour, etc.

Amazing stuff, about a dozen different colors and a metric buttload of
patterns.

We had our pre-Christmas celebration with my folks on Saturday served up on a
pattern called Chrismas Candy. Vaguely Celtic ribbon pattern around the edge.
Color is ruby, a deep red.

The real challenge for me is trying to match the menu to whatever color my
pocket-edition Martha has chosen for the serving. Obviously broccoli won't
stand up to the dark green, which veg to choose? And don't get me started on
the pale pink . . .
