Philbe

[mary long]

For almost a year I have been searching for Philbe dinnerware.  I would love to have atleast one piece of this pattern, maybe a grill plate, but so far I have found nothing at all.  How hard is it to locate Philbe, if I look for it online I keep coming across Fire King Sapphire Blue instead of Philbe.  Just wondering if you own Philbe, how and where did you find yours.

Funny, in my 1986 edition by Gene Florence he is asked the same question,where do I find this? Until your inquiry I wasn't aware that there were two separate issues of Philbe. I see it now as "dinnerware" 1937-38 and as cooking wares in the 1940s. I own several pieces of the latter but none of the former. I found mine in yard sales. Keep looking.

I have a footed tumbler, cup, and salver for sale. I actually had them listed online, but as we are in Maine right now I took them off. The are perfect and are in Sapphire Blue. If you are interested in any of these items you can e-mail me directly at [e-mail].

I'd suggest shopping in personat one of the annual depression glass shows, there are atleast 5 annual depression glass shows here in Florida: in Lakeland, Sanford, Ft. Lauderdale , Clearwater, and Jacksonville. Online try e-bay or one of the marketplaces like Tias stores or Ruby Lane. But don't give up on local venues like garage/yard/estate sales, flea markets, thrift and antique stores.
