Era / Decade
1935–1938 (Great Depression Era)
Material
Pressed Pink or Clear Glass; notable for its 'sparkle' despite being a lower-cost machine-made item of its time.
Condition
Very Good; the glass appears clear without significant clouding (sickness), but careful inspection for 'flea bites' on the diamond points is required.
Demand Level
Moderate to Niche; Depression Glass collectors are a dedicated but aging demographic; often sold more quickly in sets than as singles.

Description
A classic Hocking Glass 'Miss America' pattern footed goblet in crystal clear glass. Features the iconic all-over diamond quilted/hobnail pattern on the bowl and a sunburst/starburst pattern on the circular footed base. Approximately 5.5 to 6 inches tall.
Key Features
Highly collectible Depression Glass pattern; diamond point texture reflects light beautifully; iconic 1930s Americana design; sturdy construction.
Authenticity Indicators
Authentic Miss America glass has distinct sharp diamond points and a specific starburst base; reproductions exist but usually in non-original colors. Confidence: High.
Flaws to Note
Look for chips on the sharp points of the diamond pattern (very common), cloudiness from dishwasher use, and tiny bubbles in the glass which are indicative of the period.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Etsy (best for vintage collectors), eBay (broadest reach), or Replacements, Ltd. (if pristine). Local antique malls are also suitable.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Depression Glass', 'EAPG style', and '1930s Kitchen'. Photograph against a dark background to show the diamond pattern. Single glasses are often bought as replacements, so mention exact height in inches.
