Indiana Glass Pineapple and Floral Pink Depression Glass Plate

This is a vintage pressed glass luncheon or dinner plate, likely manufactured by the Indiana Glass Company in the 'Pineapple and Floral' (often referred to as 'No. 618') pattern. The plate is crafted from translucent pink depression glass, a color popular during the 1930s. Physically, it features a wide rim with a distinctive scalloped, wave-like edge. The decorative motif consists of four molded pineapple icons interspersed with floral vine patterns around the borders, with a plain, smooth circular center well. The glass displays the characteristic light tint and occasional small bubbles (straw marks or 'seeds') often found in mass-produced glassware of this era. Regarding condition, the surface shows visible utensil marks, light scratching from use, and some cloudiness that may be due to 'glass sickness' or hard water deposits. There are no immediate large cracks visible in the photo, though edges of scalloped depression glass are prone to small 'flea bite' chips. This style represents Early American Pressed Glass (EAPG) influences and dates approximately to the 1930s-1940s. The craftsmanship is typical of machine-pressed production intended for affordable household use during the Great Depression.
