Depression Glass

Depression Glass is generally considered to be colored glassware that was made primarily during the Depression era (1929 to 1939), although some collectible glassware was made later.  It was very inexpensive glass and was sold mainly in five and ten cent stores and given away as premiums or included with other purchases (like gasoline, cereal, soap, Quaker Oats and even local movie theaters).  The colors of the glassware include pink, red, blue, green, yellow, amber, white and crystal (clear).

I have been collecting Depression Glass for years - I just love all that old glass! It is all so heavy and sturdy that it holds up well despite decades of use. It is amazing to think that some pieces are over 70 years old!
