Glassware show this weekend at fairgrounds

Kay Tucker and her husband, David, are into glass - Depression-era glass.

"It was glassware made during the time of the Great Depression," Tucker said. "It was inexpensive, machine-made glass produced during the 1920s, '30s and '40s. Although the glassware came in a rainbow of colors, the most popular colors were pink and green. Everybody's grandma has at least a piece or two in her cupboard."

According to Tucker, the glassware came in just about every conceivable shape, style and pattern. It was sold in dime stores and department stores and given away as premiums.

Depression Center

Depression is a mental illness characterized by feelings of profound sadness and lack of interest in enjoyable activities. It may cause a wide range of symptoms, both physical and emotional. Unlike a blue mood, depression can last for weeks, months, or years, and rarely subsides without treatment.
