CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Depression-era glass filled a market in the late 1920s-1930s. Made by most American glass factories, patterns were quite plentiful -- along with the inexpensive price tag. Art Deco designs were reminiscent of the blown-glass examples and earned a popular vote with consumers.

Pressed by machines into molds, the high-tech mass production process sometimes led to slight imperfections. Unlike hand-blown glass, the details were often glossed over to achieve an efficient and timely process.

Those who love this era of glassware accept the imperfections and concentrate on the struggles of the times. The delicate shades of pink, green and amber are cherished nearly a century later.

Given as premiums, many styles are limited today. They were placed inside boxes of detergent, cereal or other staples. Some of the most popular patterns included Cherry Blossom by Jeanette, American Sweetheart by Macbeth-Evans, Cameo by Anchor Hocking and Jadeite, a light-green translucent glass.

Anchor Hocking’s Manhattan pattern has linear ribbed lines, adding the hint of a modern landscape. Today, these are coveted by collectors and pricy due to the New York City ambience.

Although the glass was created in gorgeous and brilliant colors, clear glass had strong attributes, as well. Mix and match is also possible, creating a new era of dining radiance.
