Collecting and Finding Depression Glass
Although Depression glass is now considered a collectors item, when it was originally created in the late 1920’s through early 1940’s, it was an inexpensive and extremely popular material for common household items. These glass pieces were an attempt by glass makers during the great depression to provide colorful kitchen and tableware to the homes of people who lived on an extremely limited income due to job loss or cut wages. By producing pieces with exciting designs (such as Royal Lace, Cameo, Mayflower, and American Sweetheart) and vibrant colors, the average homemaker could still have a beautiful collection without spending a lot of money.
Depression pink glass is an especially popular color for collectors. Although many of the original pieces sell for hundreds of dollars, reproduction depression pink glass is a wonderful way to add new vibrancy to any tableware collection. Available in a variety of common kitchen and dining table pieces including cake plates, serving bowls, butter dishes, fruit bowls, pitchers and tumblers, these pieces can be used to create or enhance a beautiful theme on your dining room table. Popular patterns are Thistle, Inverted Thistle, Diamond Cut, Sawtooth and Elizabethan.
Depression pink glass is produced today – allowing you to easily incorporate these designs and color into your home. Whether it is one or two pieces on your table or an entire collection, depression pink glass tableware is a beautiful way to add elegance to your table. When deciding on new tableware for your home it is important to pay attention to few simple steps. First, not all glassware is dishwasher or microwave safe so be sure to ask if you are unsure. Second, you do not need to use the same pattern or even color to create a common theme. By using Depression glass you can mix and match patterns and colors and they will tie themselves together.
Depression pink glass tableware is readily available online as well as in many home magazines. Search for glass and remember to ask questions. Many pieces are available in a variety of colors and designs.
