The Story.
Made in the in the early 1930s, the "depression pink" glasses, typically of warm blush-champagne color, were created to offer an affordable alternative to the more expensive hand-cut glass that preceeded it.
At a time where the overall atmosphere was tinted with an overwhelming sentiment of depression, its whole purpose was for people to add colour to their tables and a much-needed cheer to their homes.
