Not many people know that before World War II, large amounts of decorative glass were made in Indiana. The Indiana Glass Company, located in Dunkirk, manufactured what we now call Depression or pattern glass. With roots as early as 1895, but slowed by labor problems and bankruptcies, Dunkirk glassmakers had the initial advantages of being located near a natural gas source and on a major railroad line. The company, eventually known as Indiana Glass, was successful in producing and nationally distributing quantities of decorative pressed glass table wear in the 1920s and 1930s and the business endured for nearly a century. From 1900 to the 1950s the company made pressed glass stemware, lamps, and crystal tableware as well as blown glass that was handpainted, all of which are highly collectable today. In the 1920s and 30s Indiana Glass was known for dozens of unique glass patterns and moulded Depression glass plates, crystal goblets, and servers.
