 Indiana Glass Company of Dunkirk, Indiana (1926-1931), produced
a limited number of mold-etched glass pattern in tableware in the early period
of the Depression. Before this, Indiana produced pressed-glass tableware that
they continued to make into the 1930s. Indiana identified their pattern with
catalog numbers rather than names.
This company is favored very highly among
collectors for their serviceable crystal-ware produced for the soda fountains
and tea rooms used extensively in the 1920s and then in color in the 1930s. “Tea
Room,” an early pattern made for restaurants and soda fountains had thirty
different shapes. This pattern represented the decorative art style, heavy
pressed, geometric and flashy. “Pyramid,” another heavy extreme art deco style,
is another favorite of Indiana.
