Pink depression glass was mass-produced in the United States from the 1920s to the 1940s. It was often given away as a premium in cereal boxes or sold at low prices in dime stores. The light pink hue was achieved by adding small amounts of selenium oxide to the glass mixture.

Many different patterns and shapes were produced during this era, making it a popular collectible today. MacBeth-Evans and Fostoria are two of the more well-known manufacturers of pink depression glass. These pieces evoke a sense of nostalgia and are appreciated for their delicate designs and subtle color variations.
