Federal Glass 'Heritage' Pattern Lidded Candy Jar, c. 1940s-1960s

Story

Post-war American families in the 1940s and 50s were deeply enamored with the 'Colonial Revival' movement, a design trend that sought comfort in the aesthetics of the nation's founding era.

Maker / Origin

The Federal Glass Company, established in 1900 in Columbus, Ohio, was a pioneer in the mass production of 'Depression Glass' and later, heat-tempered kitchenware.

Condition & Value

The glass appears clear without significant 'sick glass' clouding. The finial, which is the most vulnerable part of this design, appears intact in the photo. Excellent condition for these common household items maintains their modest value. These pieces are widely collected but were produced in large quantities.
