History

The delicate laurel leaf etching and gold rim decoration represent the elegant yet accessible design aesthetic of the late 1930s. These glasses appeal to collectors of Depression-era glassware, vintage barware enthusiasts, and those who appreciate American pressed glass patterns. The combination of the etched laurel motif and gold trim makes them particularly desirable for collectors seeking complete sets of Federal Glass patterns. Such pieces are valued by Depression glass collectors and vintage entertaining enthusiasts for their historical significance, elegant design, and the nostalgia they evoke of mid-20th century American dining culture.
