6 Types Of Vintage Glassware Collectibles

By Eric Parker


There are historical records in human civilization which showed the obscure method of classifying people by their status in the society. In fact, glass wares were used once by Americans to know whether you belong to lower class or to the upper class. Manufacturers even made it to a point where they made some incorporation of chemicals just to improve the brightness and colorful aspect of the item.

Containers being made are decorative and functional in one. These things are being sometimes customized to fit the needs of the family using it. When you buy some those today, you would undoubtedly encounter many versions of vintage glassware collectibles. It is because of six types that were made in different eras.

They say, the price says it all. When it is cheap, then it is fake. Original ones come in very expensive prices. But some would argue, there are still voids when you purchase the luxurious items because of online frauds. A time like that requires you to become knowledgeable of some data related to authentic products. Once you talk to the seller of the object, you must include the following info.

Primary, early American pattern. The methodology of creating this is through some cast iron molds. It was even considered as the best alternative to the crystals hand cut by the manufacturers before. Units produced during that time are patented because it showcases distinct characteristics absent from other versions of it which led to competition. These were popular during 1850 to 1910.

Second, antique cut glassware. It is believed to have been produced in a thousand years already. The popularity just came in the late nineteenth century which was also dubbed as, Brilliant period. The use of this object is to be given to all wedding ceremonies before. Geometric pattern and prisms were usually the designs imprinted on the body of the material. Only that, this is filled with lead to make it look dazzling.

Three, carnival glasses. These cheap units are known to flicker the colors of oil in water when exposed to sunlight or any light source. It is also named as Poor Mans Tiffany, Cinderella and Taffeta. There are numerous people who are very attracted to the looks of it because it shows a kind of unique iridescent sheen that no other units could challenge.

Four, old fashioned depression units. Another collectible to all the collectors out there. They are looking for this because of the very minimal production of these items. You would never find some of its designs anywhere in the world today. This was a sort of gimmick before by the establishments making it. It got its name from a very significant phase in American history, the Great Depression.

Fifth, old fashioned elegant models. Despite the economic crisis before, establishments continued producing high quality and luxurious kinds of glassware. These were sold at high end stores and apparently, people who bought this put so much care about it. Designs like flowers and trees are intricately engraved on the sides which are similar to the prior one to this.

Six, antique milk glasses. They got their name from describing the appearance of white opaque serving items, goblets, plates and decorative objects. Even though the term was just coined in the late twentieth century, the production of this thing started way back 16TH century. These were even sold in different batches. But, it was in year 1880 where it got its peak of its selling career.
