When it comes to depression glass tableware, names that come to mind are the glass-giants Hazel-Atlas, Jeannette, Anchor Hocking, Federal, and Imperial. While not quite internationally known, Canadian glassmaker Dominion Glass did a pretty good job of supplying Canadian households with wonderfully functional and attractive glasswares during the first half of the 20th century.
The Saguenay pattern was produced from 1945-50 and is very similar to the Jeannette American Homespun pattern and consists of a series of thin ribs with horizontal cross-ribs forming a grid-like pattern. It was produced in clear crystal and crystal with pastel, fired-on colors. Relatively unknown in the international depression-glass arena, these vintage pieces are still reasonably priced.
Here we have a lovely footed, clear crystal cream pitcher and open sugar bowl in the Saguenay pattern. It is in beautiful condition without cracks or chips. The pitcher measures approximately 3 1/4" tall and the sugar bowl 3 1/8" with a 3 1/2"diameter. Sold as a set.
A nice piece of Canadian glass history!
