In the interest of my recently posted Blue Willow cica 1912 Egg Coddler below I thought I would add this video of how to use it. The lady is actually using a Royal Worcester. The pattern is the typical floral type. The "Blue Willow" is what makes mine very unique and rarer...I haven't seen any on line or elsewhere, except at eggcoddlers.com. And then you have the Advert that goes along with it... quite a bargain!

Depression Glass: Machine-pressed, tinted glassware mass-produced during the 1920s and 1930s.
Depression Glass Back in the Day Depression glass was popular and affordable when it was new. The dime store, where the thrifty homemaker could find everything from toiletries to household goods, was a common source for this inexpensive purchase. At a time when a loaf of bread cost about a nickel, frugal shoppers could also buy a piece of Depression glass for around the same price. In fact, there’s a fantastic photograph included in The Collector’s Encyclopedia of Depression Glass by Gene Florence showing a Woolworth’s window display advertising an Old Colony pattern sherbet dish and plate "complete" for 10 cents.
Depression glass also made its way into American homes through the issuance of premiums. Sellers or manufacturers would offer a free gift with the purchase of a certain dollar amount of goods or a specific product, and penny-pinching ladies took full advantage of these offerings.
Glass was plucked from an oatmeal box one week, from a detergent box the next. Sometimes gas stations would throw in a punch bowl and cups with an oil change. Movie theaters got in on the action offering a piece of glass with a ticket to a Saturday matinee.

Thats about it for now...Enjoy your wintery days! Happy New Year everyone!
