Pink Depression Glass 12" Salver Plate, MacBeth-Evans American Sweetheart Pink

This beautiful pink depression glass plate/platter is in mint condition with no chips or cracks. It measures about 12 inches in diameter and 3/4 inches tall. It would make a wonderful addition to any collection, or a nice replacement piece. American Sweetheart (1930-1936) was produced in pale pink. The pattern was an elaborate design of lacy swirls, finely detailed and quite feminine, created from a mold-etched pattern. What is special about Depression glass? It is American made and while generally made with low-quality glass during the Great Depression, the plates, saucers, cups and bowls that are today classified as "Depression Glass" have bright colors and pretty molded patterns that make them as fun to collect today as they were 80 years ago. Although of marginal quality, Depression glass has been highly collectible since the 196Os. Due to its popularity as a collectible, it is becoming more scarce on the open market. Pink Depression glass is the most sought-after color.
