 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.

Pink depression glass by many is considered to be the favorite. Pink depression glass also has the most value as well on the market. Pink depression glass however is not always pink. The hues and colors of glass, no matter what the color may be somewhat different than another piece found. This does not mean that this is a different piece. It merely means that this is one of the great inconsistencies that makes depression glass what it is today.

This is what makes depression glass so special. The fact that each piece has its own uniqueness. Some pieces lean to the side, or are not 100% symmetrical. But this should make you love them all the more. pink depression glass will continue to remain the favorite as it always has.  The black depression glass is really amazing to me, and  I will be wiring an article in the future about that specific color as well. I hope you enjoy this site. feel free to email me at anytime.

Once again, the fact that there is so much imitation glass being made can fool many persons. remember, real depression glass will not look new and will have imperfections. This is what make depression glass, depression glass. A bowl without handles has also become popular, which can be found in pink depression glass as well as green depression glass.
