Vintage Finds

Depression glass is an inexpensive glass that was manufactured in large quantities during the 1920s and early 1930s.  Dozens of factories in the United States made it in many colors and patterns. Glass labeled elegant by collectors refers to American hand-pressed items made from about 1925 to 1955. Most patterns were also made in clear glass, which the factories called crystal. The name Depression glass is a modern one and also refers to machine-made glass of the 1940s through 1970s.

The Macbeth-Evans Glass Company was an American glass company that created very fine glassware with beautiful designs, famous for making depression glass.
It was located in  Pennsylvania and started in 1899. Before 1929, Macbeth-Evans made hand blown glass before the use of machines became popular.

I just love this pattern and got lucky finding these at an estate sale.

 

I also found these for the shop, they are similar with the blue edge. They would go with the plates above  nicely!

These pieces are in pristine condition, when looking for your own vintage finds make sure to look for any chips, cracks or glaze imperfections.
