What do you do with depression glass?
I inherited a ton of depression glass when my grandma died. She told me when she was alive that if it was up to her, she wouldn't give it to me, for the fact that she knew me well enough to know that I wouldn't know what to do with it and I don't have anywhere to keep it or display it. But since her son (my dad) has given away everything else of hers that she would have given me instead without any consideration of asking me first, I'm stuck with this. My other grandma mentioned that I should keep it because it is incredibly valuable but won't offer any advice on what to do with it. I'm not a materialistic person but part of me would just rather have the money, even though there is nowhere to sell it. Even the local antique stores won't take it and if they do, they said they don't pay anything for it regardless of the value. I'd rather have someone else who can appreciate it more take it but I wouldn't even know the first place to look.
I was sad to read this! I'm sorry about your grandmother, but depression glass was worthless in the 1930's but today it is a huge collectors item.
To a collector, what you have is a treasure. The glass was included as a free gift in boxes of soap, etc during the Depression years.
Listen, keep it. You may regret it later. I know people who regretted giving away family heirlooms when they were young because at the time, they were simply too young too appreciate it!
Someday, you may grow to admire your grandmother's glass and be glad to not only display it in your home, but use it.
My mother collects dg and uses it all the time.
