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.

Some of the most valuable pieces you should look for are the Amber and Pink Dinner plates which range from $50-$150 dollars with the pink being most valuable. Probably the rarest and hardest to find though would be the Sugar Lids which have pointed and non pointed edge variants. An amber lid can fetch over $100 dollars, whereas a pink depression glass lid can be valued over $500 dollars. Amber and Pink pitchers are also of value, and ranging from $100 to over $200 dollars. Of interesting note is the fact that the names “sunburst” and “golden glow” were given to the colors of amber and iridescent.
