Stunning 14” platter in a beautiful star pattern with bubbles. Mermaid style platter. Thicker than traditional depression glass.
History of Depression Glass from Architectural Digest:
“Following the stock market crash of 1929, unemployment shot up from 3% to about 25%, leaving nearly 15 million U.S. citizens jobless at its highest point in 1933. The average family income dropped 40%, and the economy didn’t recover for an entire decade, leaving little to no spare cash for anything outside of the necessities, especially home decor.
Glassmakers couldn’t sustain through the Great Depression by providing the popular labor-intensive cut crystal glass of the 1920s to the upper class. Much like we’ve seen distilleries pivot to hand sanitizer and designers pivot to mask production during the COVID-19 pandemic, glass companies that once made luxury crystal were forced to reconsider their products. In an attempt to keep people employed, glass factories in the Ohio River Valley pivoted to mass-producing significantly cheaper molded, patterned glassware thanks to an innovative machine that could produce upwards of 1,000 pieces a day.”
Condition: excellent. No signs of age. No chips or cracks.
