Jadeite is the stuff some of you may remember Grandmother having in her kitchen. Or, some of you remember even eating your breakfast serial out of the stuff. Or drinking tea, or coffee out of a D handled jadeite mug. This was a very inexpensive and common dish wear in the 30’s and was still being used, and made in the 50’s. The cool creamy green color was very popular and is today rather collectable. I would like to buy more, but it’s hard to buy it in large quantities seeing that one plate can cost $18. to $20. Even a butter dish with a crystal cover can be over $50. Bucks! I think Jadeite, Depression glass and Fiesta Wear are good kitchen wear for that correct period look in any vintage kitchen.
So, I was in an antique store today, (big surprise) LOL and I came across a late 30's or early 40's Jadeite vase. I thought to my self: I need to get some Jadeite in my collection! I'm now looking for any that is on ebay and that I can manage to afford. It can get expensive as with Depression glass.
Any one here collect Jadeite? Here is a photo of the vase I just got.
