Emerald Green Depression Glass Salt Cellar

This item is an oval-shaped salt cellar, likely crafted from emerald green Depression era glass. Its vibrant green hue is characteristic of uranium glass, which glows under UV light, though this feature cannot be confirmed from the image alone. The cellar features a robust, pressed glass construction with a deeply faceted exterior, creating a diamond-cut, almost geometric pattern around its entire body. These facets are visible both on the exterior walls and along the interior base, creating a dazzling play of light and shadow, particularly evident in the cast shadows. The rim is smooth and rounded. The piece is supported by four distinct feet, formed by the continuation of the faceted pattern downwards, giving it a somewhat squat yet elegant stance. Given its likely material and construction, this piece probably dates from the 1920s to 1940s, a period when colored pressed glassware was highly popular and mass-produced. There are no obvious chips, cracks, or repairs visible in the provided images, suggesting it is in good vintage condition. The quality of craftsmanship is typical for pressed glass of its era, robust and functional, with distinct mold lines potentially present but not clearly discernible from the images. It serves as an excellent example of utilitarian yet decorative home goods from the Depression era.
