HISTORY
These Standard Glass plates dates to approximately 1932, placing these plates firmly within America's Depression era. The design was produced as a coordinated table-glass line called Cut 136. The pieces include goblets, iced teas, cordials and other forms. Although made during the same period as what we commonly call Depression Glass, pieces such as these are better described as Elegant Glass. Elegant Glass was generally better finished and frequently embellished after the basic glass form was made through techniques such as cutting, etching or other decorative processes. On Cut 136, the floral and leafy decoration was produced by cutting into the surface of the glass. The resulting frosted design contrasts with the clear glass and reflects the more refined decorative tableware popular during the early 1930s.
At approximately 94 years old, this surviving set offers both a useful piece of vintage tableware and an attractive example of American Depression-era Elegant Glass.
