Depression Glass is called such because collectors generally associate mass-produced glassware found in pink, yellow, crystal, or green with the years surrounding the Great Depression.
The housewives of the Depression-era were able to enjoy the wonderful colors offered in this new inexpensive glass dinnerware because they received pieces of their favorite patterns packed in boxes of soap, cereals, or as premiums given at "dish night" at the local theater.  Merchandisers such as Sears & Roebuck & F.W. Woolworth, enticed young brides with the colorful wares that they could afford even when economic times were harsh.
Because of advancements in glassware technology, Depression-era patterns were mass-produced & could be purchased for a fraction of what cut glass or lead crystal cost.  As one manufacturer found a pattern that was pleasing to the buying public, other companies soon followed with their adaptation of a similar design.  Patterns include several design motifs such as florals, geometrics, & even patterns that looked back to Early American patterns like Sandwich glass.
As America emerged from the Great Depression & life became more leisure-oriented again, new glassware patterns were created to reflect the new tastes of this generation.  More elegant shapes & forms were designed, leading to what is sometimes called "Elegant Glass".  Today's collectors often include these more elegant patterns when they talk about Depression-era glassware.
This set is part of my mother-in-law, Dora's, Collection of Depression Glass which my husband, John, & I have inherited.  John grew up in Export, Pennsylvania, a small suburb of Pittsburgh in western Pennsylvania, so they were quite near many of the major depression glass manufacturing facilities.
Jeanette Glass Company began in 1887, in the town of Pennsylvania that shares it’s name, as a simple bottle manufacturer.  The Company produced handmade bottles under the business name “Jeanette Bottle Works Company.”  Two years later, they took advantage of modern machinery advances & became known as "
Jeanette Glass Company"
, the name the Company retained for most of its history.
With technological advances throughout the years, the Company began adding jars to their list of products, medical supplies, & even headlights for automobiles.  In the 1920s, something happened that forever changed
Jeanette Glass
.
Most of the country was on the verge of an economic crisis, & women were finding it difficult to set aside money for home décor.  Depression Glass came to the rescue, as it was brightly colored almost like pieces from Tiffany, but it could be purchased cheaply due to its production methods.
This
pattern,
"WINDSOR DIAMOND"
was manufactured in the colors of crystal, green, & pink with limited production in amberina red, delphite, & ice blue.
In our own personal downsizing, we have decided to part with his mother's Collection, & since John grew up with this Collection of Depression Glass, you can count on its ORIGINALITY.
While this vintage original HAS BEEN USED, it is still in lovely ORIGINAL condition; no chips or cracks, & all edges are very smooth.  Unfortunately, the lid to the sugar bowl is missing, so I assume that it must have been broken.  Age
