3 Pc-Vintage Pink depression glass "Cupid" pattern mayonnaise set with spoon.

Depression glass refers to a category of inexpensive, mass-produced glassware produced primarily in the United States from the 1920s through the 1940s. It was often given away as a promotional item by businesses, including movie theaters, grocery stores, and ice cream parlors, making it accessible to a wide range of consumers during the Great Depression. The glass was typically made in a variety of colors, with pink, green, and amber being among the most popular.

Paden City Glass Company, in operation from 1916 to 1951, was a notable manufacturer of depression glass, known for its elegant patterns and delicate etching. The "Cupid" pattern, line #300, is a sought-after example, often found in pink or crystal. These sets, commonly used for serving condiments like mayonnaise or relishes, are collected today for their nostalgic appeal and the artistry of their design.
