Bed and Bath Glass
Powder Jars
Flower Garden with Butterflies
During the Depression Era, commonly thought of as the
years between the day the Stock Market crashed in 1929 and the start of WWII, glass companies in the United
States began experimenting with color. Colored glass had been introduced prior to
this but it was during the Depression years that the production of it was in its
heyday. Companies such as Heisey, Cambridge, Fostoria, U.S. Glass, New
Martinsville, Paden City, etc produced some of the prettiest pieces of
bedroom and bathroom glass you'll ever see. The items they produced
included powder jars, perfume bottles and atomizers, lamps, vanity sets,
towel bars, and the list goes on. Colors ranged from pink and green to
black and red and everything in between. Some of the pieces have very
classic traditional shapes and others are pure Art Deco. The one
below was made by the U.S. Glass Company in the mid-1920s. It is
called Flower Garden with Butterflies.
