Where can I get petal pattern depression glass. Clear or irredescent
I see tons pf these in local thrift stores in my area. I would try the ones in your area first.
yard sales or thrift stores.
My mother had the same bowl as pictured here, I think my hubby ended up with it. Will have to check his house next time I am there. Hot items in thrift and second hand stores, and antique stores charge or want more than they are worth.
Look at E-bay a lot of time people are looking to sell unwanted items
pretty sure I have the piece, it was my grandmother's
Look at ebay/craigslist for sale in the south and southeastern US. These are very much more likely to be found. I had a shop and ran across them all the time. They were not expensive at all.
I buy sets of floral design plates in boxes at the thrift store, they are 50s bridge sets with tea cups. Not depression glass which is much harder to come by, but very detailed floral designs.
I like to check Estate sales and sometimes you can find it at a yard sale. You just need to know what your looking for.
Resale stores,Antique stores,A glass expo show which they hold in every state,Flea markets,Craigslist,Browsing Facebook or EBay.I am often finding myself doing this but only for Vintage Pyrex.
I was going to say antique shops have tons of this type of glass; if you buy in bulk they may give you a discount if you ask.
