When I go out flea marketing or shop picking, The first thing I usually want to know is if there’s any depression glass. Often I’m presented with various pieces from the late twenties and early thirties, of which some are DG and some are not. Not to We DG purists. Depression glass "proper" is the machine made, mass produced pieces which were made at a time when most people couldn’t afford the more expensive elegant sets. Very often, it was offered as premiums in bags of flour, boxes of oats etc. To me, this beautiful (often less than perfect) old glassware bespeaks the ability of the people of this country to make it through the hardest of hard times, and come out on the back side better folks for the whole experience. I even like the little chips and flatware scratches, which record years of use around the dinner table where these dishes offered up poke "sallet", wild rabbit stew, and other gathered suppers of the era. These colorful patterned dishes brought a bit of cheer to the often financially strapped 1930s household. If you have some fine elegant pieces or even some art glass which was made during the great depression, and you want to call it depression glass, you have a perfect constitutional right to do so, but when we DG enthusiasts are present, please - JUST HUMOR US!!
