The beautiful weather that comes with summer gives us the opportunity for outdoor and casual dining. Some of the glassware from the depression era through mid century are perfect for sprucing up a luncheon or picnic table! This "Sailboat" pattern from Hazel Atlas is a great example. They were made in about the 1930's and have such a distinctive design and classic color they are timeless. Beautiful cobalt blue against a crisp white or blue checked tablecloth is a feast for the eyes! Another beautiful pattern/color is the Royal Ruby Red made by Anchor Hocking from 1938 - 1960's. It also has a distinctive color that makes any table look elegant and yet can be used for casual dining. This Royal Ruby ball pitcher and glass set is beautiful!
The depression era did bring us some beautiful colors and designs in glassware and bar-ware, but so did the mid century years. I think one of my favorites is this "Merry-Go_Round" set produced by Libby in the 1950's. The tumblers are tall and frosted with colorful carousel animals running round the outside. This one comes in a carrier that may or may not be original to the set but is still really cute! The Raffia ware burlap tumblers from the 1960's are also colorful and make a nice casual addition to any dining table. The anodized aluminum sets that are still out there are packed with beautiful colors and seem to last forever! Sturdy tumblers that will be there for years to come. All of this depression era and mid century glassware and bar-ware are still around today and should be treasured and used daily to bring color and interest to any table setting!
