What makes depression glassware valued or sought after? I've heard this before and never understood the reason.

most of the depression glassware was given away in bags of flour and corn meal during the depression and it took a LOT of bags to get a complete set of anything......its kinda like baseball cards.....buying a bunch of packs to get a set

I knew those looked familiar--those are by Imperial. Imperial didn't have a name for the pattern but simply called them the "637/3 candlestick". Ref: Hazel Marie Weatherman's "Colored Glassware of the Depression Era 2", page 159. Collectors call the pattern "Twisted Optic". Imperial called that color "Rose Marie".

Depression glass
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Depression glass is clear or colored translucent glassware that was distributed free, or at low cost, in the United States around the time of the Great Depression. The Quaker Oats Company, and other food manufacturers and distributors, put a piece of glassware in boxes of food, as an incentive to purchase. Movie theaters and businesses would hand out a piece simply for coming in the door.

Most of this glassware was made in the central and mid-west United States, where access to raw materials and power made manufacturing inexpensive in the first half of the twentieth century. More than twenty manufacturers made more than 100 patterns, and entire dinner sets were made in some patterns. Common colors are clear, or crystal; pink, pale blue, green, and amber. Less common colors include yellow, jadeite (opaque pale green), delphite (opaque pale blue), cobalt blue, red, black, and white.

Depression glass has become a very popular collectible. Scarce pieces may sell for several hundred dollars. Some manufacturers continued to make popular patterns after World War II, or introduced similar patterns, which are also collectible. Popular and expensive patterns and pieces have been reproduced, and reproductions are still being made.
