Lot #102: Vintage depression glass URANIUM GLASS fruit bowl

The image displays a piece of Depression glass, which is a type of glassware produced in the United States and Canada during the Great Depression era, roughly from 1929 to 1939. Characteristics: Depression glass is typically clear or colored translucent glassware, often machine-made and thin, designed to be inexpensive during a period of economic hardship. Production and Distribution: It was mass-produced and widely distributed, often found in department stores, dime stores, catalogs, and even given away as promotional items in grocery stores. Colors and Patterns: It was made in a wide array of vibrant colors, including pink, green (like the one pictured), yellow, amber, and even rarer colors like jadeite and uranium glass (which glows under UV light, as seen in the image). Many pieces feature intricate patterns. Collecting: Depression glass has become a popular collectible, with some pieces, particularly in rarer colors or patterns, being quite valuable today. Identifying Features: Authentic Depression glass often shows signs of its mass-produced nature, such as mold lines, small bubbles, and rounded edges, unlike the more perfect lines of cut crystal.
