Pink Depression glass pitcher and tumblers set in 'Mayfair Open Rose' pattern by Anchor Hocking

This Mayfair Open Rose pattern was produced by Anchor Hocking Glass Company from 1931 to 1937 during the Great Depression era. Depression glass was mass-produced, inexpensive glassware distributed through promotions, giveaways, and as premiums in cereal boxes or movie theaters, making elegant-looking tableware accessible to working-class families during difficult economic times. The distinctive pink color and intricate rose pattern made Mayfair one of the most popular and recognizable Depression glass patterns. Mayfair pink Depression glass remains highly collectible among vintage glassware enthusiasts and Depression glass collectors who appreciate its historical significance and Art Deco aesthetic. The pattern's romantic rose motifs and warm pink hue appeal to collectors of American glassware, vintage kitchen items, and those interested in 1930s decorative arts. Complete sets with matching pitchers and tumblers are particularly valued for their display appeal and connection to American social history during the Depression era.
