Vintage Glass Pitchers
Glass pitchers made of Depression glass date back to the 1920s from the United States of America. They are usually very cheap and easily accessible. They were used in ancient times as incentives to buy other products like petrol. As opposed to hand-blown glass, this variety is usually developed through a system that involves compressing glass slabs with machines into molds. Depression glass comes in distinctive colors that include different shades of amber, pink and green. Major manufacturers of such glass include Hazel Atlas, Jeannette, Anchor Hocking, MacBeth-Evans, and Federal.
In recent times, such pitchers are highly valued and sought after by antique collectors. They are quite highly priced and are a rare find. Vintage glass pitchers come in different patterns.

While some collectors focus on collecting different patterns of vintage glass pitchers, other focus on collecting different forms and colors of the same pattern of pitchers.

The tradition continues except the protagonist is the antique item collector in recent times.
