Shard Identification

Found it!  It's a shard from a Pink Old Cafe Depression Glass Vase.  This vase dates to 1940 making this shard 81 years old.  I wonder who owned this vase?

What is Depression Glass?

I have found many shards of depression glass on the Folly.  They date mostly from 1929 to 1939, from the Depression Era.  This type of glass was very cheap to make because it was moulded.  It was made in interesting colours and patterns.  Cheap to buy, sometimes the items were given away for free.  It was produced in America and Canada.

How to spot Depression Glass? Air bubbles in the glass and visible seams.
