Story
Post-World War II America saw a massive boom in suburban social life, where the deviled egg became the undisputed king of the potluck and cocktail party.
Maker / Origin
The Indiana Glass Company, founded in 1907, became a powerhouse of American table culture by producing affordable, durable, and stylish glassware for the masses.
Condition & Value
The glass appears clear with no significant clouding or 'sick glass' from dishwasher use. The scalloped edges are prone to small chips, but this example looks well-preserved in the photo. Excellent condition is vital for these common pieces.

Market Analysis

Value Drivers
- ▲ Strong maker attribution with credible period details
- ▲ Better-than-average condition for the category
- ▲ Broader demand rises when presentation and finish feel intact
Concerns
- ▼ Decorative-only demand limits the ceiling
- ▼ Surface wear or missing provenance can compress the range fast
- ▼ Regional sale lanes often underperform specialist venues
