Cambridge Glass Salad Plate Pink Decagon 1920s Vintage Elegant Depression

Description

Cambridge Glass was a manufacturer of glassware formed in 1873 in Cambridge, OH. The company produced a range of coloured glassware in the 1920s, initially with opaque shades, but moving on to transparent shades by the end of the decade. Unable to compete with mass-produced glassware, the company closed briefly in 1954, but was reopened in 1955. However, financial difficulties persisted, and, after several ownership changes, the factory closed for good in 1958.
Color played a significant role in the success of Cambridge Glass Co. They produced opaque glass and then moved onto transparent colors. The opaque shades were produced in early 1920s with colors such as helio, jade, primrose, azurite and ebony. In the latter of the 1920s there was a shift to transparent colors in light colors. In the 1930s, the company moved to darker colors such as forest, amethyst and royal blue.
This pink transparent salad plate made by Cambridge Glass is BEAUTIFUL! It has some minor scratches from age (I tried to get a good shot with my camera - but the scratches are very very minor). The plate measures approximately 8 1/4 in diameter.
All items are handled with the 'white glove treatment' - meaning items are handled with the BEST of care. They are only handled with microfiber white gloves, and stored in a smoke free, pet free, temperature controlled space. All items are shipped with a tracking number and packed with secure bubble wrap.
