This is the Depression Glass Shelf. Depression glass was a product of the 'Great Depression'
of the late 1920's and the 1930's. Money was scarce and times were hard. People looked for something to
put a little 'brightness' in their lives. Glass companies had started mass producing machine-made colored
glassware that could be had for a price people could afford, and the people loved it. Some of the items
were used as 'give-aways' in flour and oatmeal products. Others could be found at the local movie houses,
for a very small price. You could get an entire set of dishes just by going to the movies each week, and
buying the featured pattern piece.
On this shelf you will find the different companies that produced some of
the pieces that I have in stock. This includes many of the familiar patterns and pieces, and perhaps
one or two that are unusual. I would like to share some of the lovely items I have come across with
you. If you are looking for a piece like Grandma had, or just like to collect certain styles, or
patterns, you may find them here.
Most of the items we sell are older pieces. We describe them to the best of our ability,
but keep in mind that these are old 'used' items. They may have natural flaws such as air bubbles,
straw marks, scratches, and/or wear from normal household use, etc. Please note that all the information provided here is accurate to the best of my knowledge.
However, I'm only human, and I can make mistakes. As I learn more about the origins and history of a
piece in my collection, I will update the info provided here. There are well over two thousand items in my collection, most of which are available for you to
buy. Only a small portion of this huge collection is represented here, and we are constantly adding
new items. So look over the items on this shelf, and if you see something you like, you can purchase
it. If you don't see exactly what you're looking for, email me to ask about it, what you're looking
for might just be tucked away in a corner of my closet.
You can pay for an item by Visa or MasterCard using PayPal.com. It's
free to use and you will find a 'buy-now' button on each page. If you prefer to pay by check or money order, you can do
that right from the page too.
Thank you for visiting my Website, and whatever you do, enjoy your
day!
