Heavy green tint inkwell base Help identifying time please

[rutie]

Hi.. I have a heavy large inkwell stand made of galas, 16 x 6 and 1+ inch high. It has a greenish tint, and a wood stand for the calendar.
Is it Depression Glass?

Welcome to Tnet.

That’s nice and appears to very Art Deco in style. I wouldn’t call it Depression glass, although it may well be from the same era. The Art Deco period ran from around 1919 to 1939 but pieces were still being made well into the 1950s. Depression Glass was made between about 1929 to 1939, but the term is usually reserved for mass-produced utility items that were distributed for free or at low cost. Your stand looks to be rather better quality.

Thank you!
That sounds reasonable. I thought it's Depression Glass since it has a green tint, but the design is strong Art Deco, and I probably liked it because of it. I dont recall where I got it, I have it about 30 years, and would like to sell it now. Is there interest in that? Is this a platform for sale, too?

You're welcome.

Welcome. Whatever kind of glass it may officially be, I call it very, very handsome glass.
