Ice Blue and Cobalt Blue Depression Glass

Ice blue and cobalt blue depression glass are collectible colored glassware styles associated with the Great Depression era, roughly the 1920s through the 1940s. Depression glass was often inexpensive, machine-made tableware sold in stores or given away as promotional items with food products and household purchases. Ice blue refers to a pale, cool blue shade that can appear almost transparent in certain lighting, while cobalt blue is a deeper, richly saturated blue that creates a bold contrast on a table or display shelf. Collectors often look for complete patterns, matching pieces, clear color, and minimal chips, cracks, or cloudiness. Because values vary by pattern, condition, rarity, and demand, identifying a piece by its maker’s mark, design, and dimensions can help determine its history and potential value.
