During the month of August all GLASSES will be reduced 20% from their current prices. DiSH has an array of glasses produced from the 1920’s to the 1960’s.  Cheese spreads came in Swanky Swigs (juice glasses) in the 1930’s; many glasses were given away by stores as promotional items.

Crystal stemware for water, wine and champagne in a myriad of patterns were produced in the 1030’s by Fostoria, Tiffin, Cambridge, and Imperial  (among others). Informal dining became popular after World War II with the cocktail hour and outdoor barbecues. Sets of glasses (6-8) with pitchers and portable stands dominated the 1950’s, some designed by Fred Press. Glasses often remind visitors to DiSH of family memories! They also make great gifts!

A major entertainment venue in the homes of the 1930’s-1950’s was the radio. Before television, families would sit around after dinner and listen to their favorite radio programs in the comfort of their living rooms. The production of portable radios made it possible for individuals to listen to programs and music in the kitchen, bedroom or office. Drop by DiSH and take a look at our collection of portable radios which are for sale at reasonable prices. All but two have been refurbished and work well. The manufacturers include: RCA Victor, Motorola, Westinghouse, Belmont (see image below),  Air Chief, Silvertone, Crosley, General Electric and Packard Bell.  See Radios At Dish under Pages on the right for other examples of radios available .

The “Wonderful Waffles and Tasty Toast” event at Dish was enjoyed by all. The 35 guests liked the oat waffles, so we’re sharing the recipe.   See Crunchy Oat Waffle Recipe under Dish Recipes in “Pages” on the right.
