Artifact Overview

This footed tumbler is part of a larger dinnerware service produced by the Indiana Glass Company of Dunkirk, Indiana. Known as "Depression Glass" these wares were distributed free, or at low cost, in the United States around the time of the Great Depression of the 1930s. The stepped or zig-zag design is the epitome of the Art Deco style, popular at that time.
