QR Code Link to This Post
Depression glass was a type of glassware produced between 1929 and 1939, around the time of the Great Depression. This clear and colourful machine-made glassware was distributed free or at a low cost in the United States and Canada.
These lovely depression glass sherbet cups were produced by Macbeth-Evans around 1930. The "American Sweetheart Clear" pattern features a delicate scroll motif molded in clear glass. These clear glass cups rest in metal footed holders.
Included in set:
Most depression glass was made in the Ohio River Valley of the United States, where access to power and raw materials made production very inexpensive at the time. Over 100 patterns were made by more than 20 manufacturers, with entire dinner sets being made in some patterns. Some movie theaters and businesses handed out pieces to customers during this time and even food manufacturers, like the Quaker Oats Company, put a piece of glassware in boxes of food as a purchase incentive.
These are $15 each or all six for $80.
