Set of five sherbet/ice cream glasses in the Cameo Ballerina pattern. Green uranium glass. Size: 3 1/8 inch Mint condition. "Produced by Hocking from 1930 to 1934, Cameo really had its beginnings under a different name with another glass company. In the late 1920’s, Hocking acquired the Monongah Glass Company of Fairmont, West Virginia. The majority of Monongah’s molds were sent to Lancaster Glass, which had become a part of Hocking Glass in 1924. But Monongah’s ‘Springtime’ pattern seemed to be just what Hocking was looking for. They copied the pattern almost exactly and made new molds so that it could be machine pressed. (Springtime, as originated by Monongah, was pressed, etched, and gold trimmed all by hand.) In 1930, Cameo – a.k.a. ‘Ballerina’ for the figure in the cameo - became Hocking’s first mold etched dinnerware line and it remains one of the most popular Depression glass patterns ever made."
