Comment on What do you do with depression glass? by Kathy

A couple suggestions for you.
Find out what you have. Not all colored glass is depression glass and not all depression glass is valuable. Your library probably has a book on depression glass by Gene Florence or Barbara Mauzy. These have good photographs; use them to find what you have.
If your pattern isn’t in there it may not be depression glass or it may be another type of collectible glass. You are welcome to post a photo of a piece or two on my Facebook page at http://www.DepressionGlassFun.com and I can perhaps give you an idea what you have.

Glass value depends on the pattern, color, piece and condition. If your Grandma’s glassware is chipped or scratched it won’t be worth much at all.

If you know what you have you could list it on Craig’s list, or ask a dealer to buy it (try Google to find one locally) or sell on eBay. Frankly selling glass online is not easy so if you can find a buyer locally that would be easier. Remember that dealers cannot pay anything close to book value, have realistic expectations.

If you aren’t into it, you shouldn’t feel bad about selling it (try ebay) or giving it to someone else in your family who is more into it. I’m sure there are online groups of people who like depression glass- that might be a good place to start looking for a buyer. You might want to keep a small piece to remember your grandma by.

If you want to keep it- try displaying it in a hutch. Personally I love depression glass, and think it looks cool either casually stacked or more properly displayed.
