The 13th Annual Elegant and Depression Glass Show and Sale will be held at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds in Nashville, TN, on Saturday, July 21, and Sunday July 22, 2012. The Fairgrounds is located at the Wedgewood Exit off I-65. Show hours are 10am. to 5pm. on Saturday and 11am. to 3 pm. on Sunday. Seminars will be presented at 1pm. and 3pm. on Saturday and at 1pm. on Sunday. Admission is $5.00 per person and is good for both days. A parking fee may be charged by the management of the Fairgrounds.
The show will feature approximately 20 dealers from several states. The dealers will have a wide variety of American-made glass including Early American Pattern Glass (EAPG), depression glass, and elegant glass. Most of the U.S. manufacturers of glassware are no longer in business so shows such as this provide the opportunity to purchase glassware that can not be acquired in department stores.

Depression glass is the colorful glassware made in the 1920s and 30s in many patterns by companies such as Federal, Hazel-Atlas, Hocking, and Jeanette. Elegant glass is generally higher quality than depression glass and is often etched or cut with intricate patterns showing the skills of American glass workers. Major producers of elegant glass include Cambridge, Fostoria, Heisey, Imperial, New Martinsville, Tiffin and Westmoreland.
In addition to elegant and depression glass, items such as lamps, vases, planters, and figurines made by American potters will be offered. Makers include Hall, McCoy, Roseville, Shawnee and Weller.
The Fostoria Glass Society of Tennessee, a chapter of the Fostoria Glass Society of America, hosts the show. Proceeds from the show are used to support the Fostoria Glass Museum in Moundsville, W.Va. and other organizations that preserve the history and artistry of American glassmakers.
