Description
Nothing pairs with a gentle afternoon read quite like the soft glow of pink Depression Glass. These delicate teacups, pressed in the 1930s, feature a floral motif reminiscent of Jeannette Glass’s Poinsettia pattern, with graceful handles and translucent rose coloring that catches the light.
A note on history: Depression glass was mass-produced in the 1920s–40s and often given away as premiums in cereal boxes, movie theaters, or dime stores. It was meant to brighten everyday lives during the Great Depression — affordable beauty at a difficult time. Because it was pressed quickly and made from inexpensive materials, the glass is thin and fragile. We recommend using it with warm (not boiling) tea or enjoying it as a display piece.
At Deb’s Tea Room, we see these cups not only as glassware but as companions to stories — each one carrying the resilience of the past and the charm of retro elegance. Perfect for a booklover’s tea ritual, or as a nostalgic gift for someone who treasures old-world beauty.
