Dating from the Depression era of the 1930s, this amber glass duo features a delicate molded lace texture and a classic footed silhouette topped with a matching domed lid.
This warm amber cream and sugar set is an authentic survivor of the Great Depression, produced by the Federal Glass Company between 1932 and 1939. This specific set captures the golden glow and ornate detailing that made amber Depression glass a favorite for brightening American tables during a somber era. The Madrid pattern is celebrated for its intricate, molded design featuring delicate scrolls and lacy floral motifs that wrap around the flared bodies of both vessels. The sugar bowl is topped with its original matching lid, complete with a faceted finial, while the creamer features a graceful poured spout and a sturdy, integrated handle.
Unlike the later reissues, these original pieces possess a deeper, tobacco-amber hue and the sharp mold lines characteristic of early production. The design fits perfectly within a Country and Farmhouse kitchen or as a focal point in a Mid-Century dining set. The rich, honey-colored glass catches the morning light beautifully, making this set a functional work of art for a coffee station or tea service. Because it is in excellent condition, the glass remains clear and vibrant, which is quite rare for utility glass of this age. It serves as a glowing addition to a collection of authentic 1930s glass or as a thoughtful gift for a dedicated collector.
Details: The sugar bowl measures about 5.25" in height with lid with a 3.75" opening. The creamer measures about 3" in height with a 3.75" opening. Excellent condition.
