The Rocky Mountain Depression Glass Society
Denver, Colorado
|
|
The Rocky Mountain Depression Glass Society (RMDGS) was created in the
early ‘70’s by avid collectors interested in learning more about Depression-era
glass and china. The club provides members with an opportunity to share examples
of their collections and exchange knowledge about American-made glass and china.
The club’s extensive library is an excellent source for researching information
and identifying glass and china pieces. Recently the club has expanded their areas
of interest to include Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG) as well as Carnival
Glass. The RMDGS meets at 7:30 PM on the 3rd Tuesday of each month in the basement
of the Epiphany Lutheran Church, 790 South Corona, Denver, Colorado. (August is a
show planning meeting; no meeting in December.) Guests are always welcome. Further
information and/or directions are available on request. The agenda includes a short
business meeting followed by an excellent program on Depression Era Glass, EAPG,
and/or china collectibles. During the refreshment portion members can get a closer
look at the items presented during the program and seek additional information from
the presenter. Club members also attempt to help one another in identifying
pieces brought to meetings. At its annual show and sale, the RMDGS hosts some 34
nationally recognized dealers, specialized displays of glass, and free glass
identification. The show is held the last full week-end of April at the Douglas
Count Events Center in Castle Rock, CO.

The club sponsors an outstanding Depression Era glass, pottery, and dinnerware show
in the Douglas County Event Center in Castle Rock. The show is usually the last
full weekend in April (April 26-27, 2008). The show has allowed the club to donate
$1000 annually to Denver Children's Hospital.
