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.
