Cube “Cubist” crystal creamer and sugar cup

We drove out to the 400 Antique Market in Inisfil today. I found a creamer and sugar cup set in the Cube “Cubist” pattern. I’m having a difficult time establishing a value for my purchase. Both the “Collector’s Encyclopedia of Depression Glass” and the “Pocket Guide to Depression Glass” only list prices for the pink and green sets. eBay listings confirm that I paid fair market value for the set.

Jeannette Glass Company manufactured this pattern from 1929-1933, but only three items were produced in crystal:

2 5/8″ creamer, 2 9/16″ sugar cup, and, 7 1/2″ round tray.

So it looks like I just need the tray to complete the Cubist crystal set!

A trip to the 400 antique market

Took a drive up to the 400 Antique Mall in Innisfil on the weekend with my Mister and son. Lots of lovely green pieces, but alas, will have to wait until my pocket book is better lined with the other green stuff.

The 400 Antique Market is part of another great location in Cookstown — Roadshow Antiques.
