It was "cheap" glass in 20's & 30's but it sure does last. I have salad bowls & other serving pieces I use all the time, get compliments on & it still looks like new, I do hand wash it tho. Most often seen colors are clear, amber or canary yellow,a lt. pink, a few patterns have a light blue & a green which is a light green unless you are talking about "Forest Green" which is Christmas green & I think there is an entire book about it, in a lot of the patterns. Same with "Ruby Red". Got my mom a ruby red salad bowl few years back, sure looks lovely on table at Christmas dinner with a salad in it. A few pieces have added metal such as Horseshoe on the sandwich plate I think. American is lovely & red hard to come by, even had punch bowl. My Aunt had many beautiful dinners I got to be at with all of her Fostoria (expensive), it sets a lovely table. Water glasses & pitcher down to dessert dishes this was in 1950's. Go to library & look at book on early glass & depression glass. Lots of lovely patterns,Hazel-Atlas, McKee, Indiana,Federal, Jeannette, Anchor-Hocking are some of the glass companies.Imperial,Cambridge, Findlay were expensive DG companies. Westmoreland is 1 of my favorites but was fancy glass of the time. There is between 60-100 patterns & few of them still arn't known who made them.

"depression glass" as we think of it was pressed in a mold with a very low relief pattern. But there was also something classified as "elegant depression glass"...which was usually hand finished with more detail and finer glass...clearer. I think your sherbets belong in the elegant category. They appear to be hand finished and if I am seeing correctly have a bubble in the stem. Try searching for elegant depression glass. I have linked one site but haven't searched it. Good luck....they are lovely...that green is luminous! Linda C Here is a link that might be useful: Just glass

It looks like a glass plate of the depression era....but certainly not "depression glass"...much too fine. It's a crystal plate...likely had matching goblets, wines and sherbets. Perhaps replacements could find the name of the pattern for you?

I'm not depressed; I'm just exhausted, chilled, disappointed, and teed off. May I rant for a minute? LOL I started dedicating at least part of each Monday as my healing time. Weekends are so stressful. I try to keep up with cooking the copious amounts of food dh wants; and managing the dogs is much more work than during the week since they are so revved up when he's home. They are high-octane hunters and don't do sedate with any grace or charm. Since the temps have been -20s with today's windchill at -42; they cannot go outside except for a quick potty break. Dh has been spending all his time on the computer reading "Alaska mountain man tall tales" and has decided our house is too hot. It was 62 degrees in the living room and he's yelling "why do you have to have it so hot in here." He takes off his outer shirt and is wearing sandals. The bedroom, 52 degrees unless I put my little heater in there, is "a little better but still too hot. Can't you get rid of some of these blankets? I have flannel sheets, one thin thermal blanket, one thicker plush blanket, and one quilt. Apparently so-and-so traveled 100 miles in -50 temps wearing minimal clothes back in the big blizard of oughty-oughty. Anyone needing any more warmth is just a wimp. I told him tall tales are often based more on imagination than facts. I refuse to dignify his rants with any response. I put on more layers of clothes and wear a jacket or fleece blanket when I sit down. He said he had to go outside to be able to breath. I said well since you're going to be outside, would you top up the bird feeders? He was not amused, but filled two of the four suet feeders, topped up one of the two tube feeders, and put suet pellets in the hopper feeder. Later I bundled up and filled the other suet feeders, hung a hopper feeder for sunflower chips, and set up the platform feeder. It was good for me to get out on the air (his comment). Today he went back to work, two hours later than normal. I have drunk hot tea, read a great book, and thoroughly enjoyed watching all the birds. I did remove ice/snow from about 4 square feet of the front deck. I'll do more tomorrow.
