Description :

The Indiana Glass Company thrived for over 100 years producing American utilitarian glassware that was affordable, durable, and appealing. These 7 pieces are a great example of its "everyman" designs that went well in most American homes during the early to mid 20th century (alas, they closed their doors just after the millennium)

We believe these pieces are from the line called Willow Frost - the coloring is obvious in the sugar, creamer, and tray with traces of pink and yellow still evident. While there is no obvious color on the basket, bowl and candlesticks, upon close observation you can find traces in some of the channels - we are guessing since these were workhorses in most kitchens, these pieces received more washing than the server set and the color was removed over the years. There are some flaws as to be expected with vintage glass - see last few photos - but these pieces have a lot of life left in them and are ready for a new home. Also note the final 2 pictures - some of what we perceived as flaws initially are not - the pieces simply need a good scrub as shown in the last two "before/after" photos.

Basket measures approx. 10" H x 12" W x 9.5" D while server tray measures 1"H x10" W x 4.25" D.
