Ruby-flashed pressed glass luncheon plates in the 'Kings Crown' pattern by Indiana Glass

The Kings Crown pattern was originally produced by Indiana Glass Company starting in the 1890s as part of the Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) movement. The ruby-flashed version, featuring the distinctive red stain on clear pressed glass with thumbprint and crown motifs, became particularly popular in the mid-20th century when Indiana Glass reissued the pattern. These plates were widely produced from the 1950s through the 1980s as affordable yet elegant tableware for American households. Kings Crown glassware remains highly collectible among vintage glass enthusiasts and those who appreciate mid-century American pressed glass patterns. The ruby-flashed pieces are especially sought after by collectors of colored glass and Depression-era style tableware. These plates appeal to both casual collectors looking to complete table settings and serious glass collectors who value the craftsmanship and nostalgic charm of American pressed glass manufacturing.
