History

This emerald green pressed glass tableware was produced by the U.S. Glass Company in the early 20th century, part of their Colonial or Scalloped Panel pattern line. The distinctive scalloped rim and paneled body were characteristic of Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) designs that remained popular through the 1920s-1930s. The rich emerald green color was achieved through the addition of chromium oxide to the glass mixture, creating a vibrant hue that was highly fashionable during this period. These cream and sugar sets are highly sought after by collectors of American pressed glass and EAPG enthusiasts who appreciate the craftsmanship and historical significance of early 20th-century American glassware. The emerald green color is particularly desirable among Depression-era glass collectors, as it represents one of the more striking and less common colors produced during this time. Such pieces appeal to both vintage tableware collectors and those interested in American industrial design history, valued for their decorative appeal and as examples of affordable luxury during the early decades of mass-produced glassware.
