About Antique Elegant Glass

Elegant glass refers to a type of glassware received as wedding gifts or used for special occasions between the 1920s and the 1950s. It was typically thin and finely polished, often etched or cut and sometimes colored. Although produced by Depression glass makers, it was typically higher quality, and often hand finished.
