Newport depression glass was created by the Hazel-Atlas glass company, and it was made in the mid 1930’s. Some have given Newport the nickname “hairpin” because of its design on some of the pieces which resemble a bobby pin when you look at them. Bowls and plates are the most desired pieces. These are valued anywhere from $20 dollars to $50 dollars.
Newport is interestingly not desirable for its pink depression glass as many other glass makers are, however it is desirable for a cobalt or blue color which is stunning. The patterns of Newport are not complex, and many times because there are no patterns where the glassware was most used, many pieces of depression glass look quite scratched. Thus it can be really challenging to find some nice pieces.
If you can get your hands on the salt and pepper shakers these are valued at around $75 dollars, and are always nice to add to a collection.

I have six depression glass plates, small plates with the design of a sailing ship in the center with the outside rim, about two inches wide with scratch effect and little flowers. Do you know what these would be worth ? Thanks, Lois Downey
