Heisey Miss America Appraisal

Miss America Green Depression Glass Creamer

This item is a vintage glass creamer produced in the popular 'Miss America' pattern, which was manufactured by the Hocking Glass Company between approximately 1935 and 1938. The piece is crafted from green transparent glass, a color variant commonly referred to by collectors as 'Depression Glass.' Physically, the creamer features a flared, wide mouth with a prominent pouring spout and a geometric, squared handle typical of the Art Deco influence during the era. The exterior body is decorated with the signature diamond point or 'hobnail' texture that defines the Miss America pattern, which creates a highly refractive surface. The glass has a subtle glow characteristic of uranium glass, though this would need to be confirmed with a UV light. The condition appears fair to good; there is a noticeable internal cloudiness or mineral film, often called 'sickness' in glass collecting, which suggests repeated use or exposure to hard water. There are no major chips visible in the low-resolution image, but the rim and base should be inspected for micro-nicks which are common in this pattern due to the sharp edges of the diamond points. The piece stands roughly 3 to 4 inches tall and represents a classic example of American mass-produced tableware from the Great Depression era.
