Depression glass was the cheap dime store glass that surprised everyone by becoming valuable. That's a problem because cheap reproductions can easily be made which have the same characteristics as the cheap originals. I would be very careful putting any serious money into a depression glass collection.
Depression-Glass.org is our websites for this hot collectible. We have made a start on some of the larger categorys, but will need many more. With more than 10,000 auctions for depression glass items active at any one time and with the reproduction issues, a site that subsets that huge mass of auctions into manageable pieces should be very helpful to visitors. This kind of picture identification should be especially helpful for novices who don't already know the names of patterns, colors and other terminology used by experienced collectors.
As a small sample five depression glass auctions active now are shown below.
