Hi I think this is depression glass, not worth anything, my mother had it, and now I do. It is kind of pretty, I should wash them, I was born in 1949 and I think they are older than me. toracat

these are beautiful:)
You have a variety of things there, but wouldn't call any of it DG. The tall compote is the Alfa pattern originally by J.B. Higbee 1908, continued by New Martinsville in the teens. The "cut glass" type patterned compotes are Imperial's Nucut. You have a piece of Westmoreland there and a piece of Anchor Hocking's EAPC. The covered compote appears to be EAPG.
WOW thanks Paul71, I will write down this and study! thanks again toracat!

Thanks to Paul and Bellin I washed the items I showed and wow they look 100% better!
