Hi Anne: Just a technical point - it's not cut glass, it's press-moulded.
Tony: I have a theory about why any old press moulded glass gets labeled "depression glass" in Australia and New Zealand. Firstly, Crown Crystal was making patterns which looked like EAPG and European glass in the depression, so we call EAPG and European glass "depression glass" because it looks a bit like "our" depression glass. Secondly, we're so much further behind with research!
Cheers,
Cathy.
