The industrial revolution hit the glass industry in the early 1920's. Companies like Jeannette and Indiana switched to machinery instead of hand presses. They could crank out nearly 50 ton of glass daily even back then. The economy was going downhill: stock market crash and then the depression. A great many of the hand making glass companies went under. The first depression glass patterns came out in the mid 1920's and took over. They were CHEAP and very colorful, machine made glass.
