By Eric Parker


From the different centuries that passed by the human populace, there has been a significant classification of the social statuses. Included in this scenario is the owning of glass wares which can be used as bases whether you belong to the upper class or lower ones. Some manufacturers even made the distinction of their products by putting chemicals to make it brighter and more colorful than others.

Containers being made are decorative and functional in one. These things are being sometimes customized to fit the needs of the family using it. When you buy some those today, you would undoubtedly encounter many versions of vintage glassware collectibles. It is because of six types that were made in different eras.

They say, the price says it all. When it is cheap, then it is fake. Original ones come in very expensive prices. But some would argue, there are still voids when you purchase the luxurious items because of online frauds. A time like that requires you to become knowledgeable of some data related to authentic products. Once you talk to the seller of the object, you must include the following info.

First, early American pattern. It was made during the 1850s until 1910s. Manufacturers made a very tough competition in selling this kind of item. Models were made unique so that every creator could patent their work of art. It is cheaper than other products which are made from hand cut crystals. A method of making this is through the use of cast iron molds.

Second, antique cut glassware. It is believed to have been produced in a thousand years already. The popularity just came in the late nineteenth century which was also dubbed as, Brilliant period. The use of this object is to be given to all wedding ceremonies before. Geometric pattern and prisms were usually the designs imprinted on the body of the material. Only that, this is filled with lead to make it look dazzling.

Third, carnival glasses. An inexpensively made product like this is described as having the appearance of an iridescent sheen. For this reason, many collectors have been captivated by its beauty. This has many characteristics that include having the shimmer of multiple colors. Colors being shown by this closely resembles the oil in water. Nicknames of this range from being Poor Mans Tiffany, Taffeta and Cinderella.

Fourth, old depression units. Most collectors in this generation are looking for this. Not because of its beauty, but because of its limited style. There are only limited runs for some of the models made by the companies before. When Great depression in the American economy occurred, this was the most notable thing that was in store for everyone that is why it is called as such.

Fifth, old fashioned elegant models. Despite the economic crisis before, establishments continued producing high quality and luxurious kinds of glassware. These were sold at high end stores and apparently, people who bought this put so much care about it. Designs like flowers and trees are intricately engraved on the sides which are similar to the prior one to this.

Six, antique milk glasses. They got their name from describing the appearance of white opaque serving items, goblets, plates and decorative objects. Even though the term was just coined in the late twentieth century, the production of this thing started way back 16TH century. These were even sold in different batches. But, it was in year 1880 where it got its peak of its selling career.
