Do you love displaying and admiring vintage colored glassware? That’s part of the fun, but you don’t have to simply keep them tucked away in a glass cabinet, never to be touched. Why not actually use them? These pieces are surprisingly durable and can transform an ordinary meal into something truly special.
When is colored glassware considered vintage?
Pieces that are anywhere from 20 to 99 years old can be considered vintage. They’ve seen everything from family dinners to porch-side lemonade, which is why collectors value them as much for their history as their beauty.
What are the best types of vintage colored glassware to look out for?
At Pacific Antiques Mall, you can explore more than 101 unique shops filled with antiques and vintage pieces. Among them, you’ll find a remarkable range of vintage glassware ready to brighten your table or collection, including these prized finds:
| 1940s–1960s mid-century modern barware | Think gold-rimmed highball glasses and sharp atomic or geometric patterns that defined the post-war cocktail era. Each piece has that understated glamour you’d imagine on a Mad Men set. |
| 1970s Colored Glassware | Bold and sunny tones — amber, olive, orange — that look straight out of a retro kitchen! |
| Blue Vintage Glassware | From pale sky blue to deep cobalt, these pieces glow in natural light and look striking against white tableware. Many are pressed or blown by hand. |
| Amethyst Glassware | Jewel-toned purples that catch the light beautifully, especially in goblets or decanters. Some pieces appear almost black until sunlight hits them |
| Pink Vintage Glassware | From Depression-era blush to 1950s rose, these pieces are often found in serving sets or dessert dishes. |
