Depression Glass refers to a type of glassware that was widely produced and distributed in the United States during the Great Depression era, from the 1920s to the 1940s. It is characterized by its affordable price, lightweight and thin construction, and vibrant colors. The glassware was often given away as premiums with purchases of other products, such as food or gasoline, making it accessible to a wide range of consumers. Depression Glass comes in a variety of patterns and shapes, including dishes, bowls, vases, and candy dishes, and is highly sought after by collectors today for its historical significance and aesthetic appeal.
