Depression Glass refers to
that distinctive kind of trans-
parent glass made in colors -
primarily in pink, green and
amber - and molded in a
great variety of patterns
during the late 1920's and
early 1930’s. It was sold as
inexpensive, every-day din-
netware in dime stores, and
by such companies as Sears.
Roebuck A Company, Mont-
gomery Ward, or, like Carni-
val Glass, was given away as
premiums st fairs or in boxes
of cereal and tea. Today,
colored glassware of the 20’s
and 30’s has been discover-
ed. its value has greatly
increased, and collectors are
preserving its history and
beauty for the enjoyment of
future generations.
The exhibit will be located
in the National Room at the
Waterwood National Country
Gub. Hours will be 10:00
A.M. to 5:00 P.M, and the
admission charge will be
$1.50.
