Depression Glass Value Guide
Depression Glass refers to a style of colored, molded glassware produced in the 1920s, 30s and 40s. The term Depression Glass was coined by collectors decades after these products were sold and there is no single, precise definition. It is generally understood to mean the inexpensive dinnerware sets offered by about 20 United States manufacturers. These items were distributed through smaller discount stores (dime stores) and were also given away as premiums with the purchase of cereal, groceries, gasoline, movie tickets and more. Although the quality of Depression Glass was not as exacting as more the more expensive, upscale glass lines of the time, the patterns were frequently intricate and elegant with a range of rich coloring.
