Depression Glass - Definition
Depression Glass is the colored glassware made primarily during the Depression Era (1928-1940). It was made in the colors of amber, blue, black, crystal, green, pink, yellow and white. A good deal of the Depression glass was given away as promotional or premium items for other products. It was often packaged in cereal boxes and flour sacks or given as incentives for buying tickets to the movies. It was also given as a premium at gasoline stations and grocery stores.
On occasion you will see glass made after 1940 described as depression glass, but true depression glass was made from 1928 to 1940.
