Depression Glass is defined as glass produced in the USA during the Depression years of the 1920's and 1930's. Generally it was made by machine in a range of colours and a vast amount of it was tableware and kitchen-ware. The most common colours were amber, blue, black, crystal, green, pink, red, yellow and white.
Depression Glass was often given away as promotional gifts with other purchases. It was sometimes packed with break-fast cereals, put into flour sacks, or just given to customers in grocery stores, gasoline stations, or
movie theatres.
Not all glass produced by US glassworks during the Depression Era was of this cheap quality. Better quality glass from companies such as Heisey and Fostoria is known as Elegant Glass of the Depression Era.
