History

Produced by the Federal Glass Company of Columbus, Ohio, between 1930 and 1932, the "Lovebirds" pattern remains one of the most iconic and sought-after designs of the Depression glass era. The vibrant green coloration was achieved by adding uranium oxide to the glass batch, a common practice of the period that causes the glass to glow bright green under ultraviolet light. This creamer is a quintessential example of American tableware designed to bring affordable, cheerful design into households during the economic hardships of the Great Depression.
