This is a depression glass pattern that many buy for it's charm and 'lucky' four leaf clovers as well as the steady value. This pattern has maintained a strong price over the last decade, and will most likely continue to increase in value.
Hazel Atlas produced this depression glass pattern in the mid-1930s under the name of Cloverleaf. The major pattern has a band of three-leaf clovers encircling each piece. A variation was made which included random four leaf clovers, and can be found on a cereal bowl, a cup and saucer only. The 4-leaf clover variant is more difficult to find, and subsequently commands about twice the price of the three-leaf pattern.
There were three different styles of depression glass tumblers, above is the 5 3/4" footed tumbler in the Hazel Atlas yellow. In addition, there is a 4" flat tumbler with a straight rim and a 4" flat tumbler with a flared rim. Green is the predominantly sought after color, however the pink is usually much harder to find.
If you are fortunate enough to be able to find the grill plates in mint condition, buy them! I have only found 2 or 3 that were flawless. Seems these big plates were all well used.
