Elegant glass
Elegant Glass was at least partially hand made during production. Elegant Glass was polished to get rid of the flaws in the glass. The base of bowls, platters, etc. were ground so it would sit evenly on your table; acid etching or hand etching was used to create a pattern. Unlike Depression Glass, Elegant Glass was sold in the finer stores (never given away). These patterns were marketed as wedding patterns. Elegant glass varied just as widely in color as in pattern. Elegant glass patterns had a wide rang of items available including card trays, cocktails glasses, decanters, bitters bottles, and muddlers.
From the 1920s through the 1950s, it was an alternative to fine china. Most of the Elegant glassware manufacturers had closed by the end of the 1950s, and cheap glassware and imported china replaced Elegant glass.
