History
Indiana Glass Company produced the Diamond Point pattern from the 1940s through the 1980s, with ruby flash pieces being particularly popular during the mid-20th century. The ruby stain technique involved applying a thin layer of cranberry-colored glass to clear pressed glass, creating an elegant two-tone effect that was affordable yet visually striking. These divided serving pieces were staples of American households during the post-war era, used for entertaining and holiday gatherings. Collectors of American pressed glass and vintage tableware highly prize these ruby flash pieces for their nostalgic appeal and decorative beauty. The Diamond Point pattern, with its geometric precision and the warm glow of the ruby stain, represents classic mid-century American glassware that evokes memories of family dinners and special occasions.
