8 of the Most Valuable Kinds of Pressed Glass

Some of these pieces are actually worth some dough!

1) Akro Glass

This iconic glassware is opaque and often has a marbled or “agate” color pattern. Because Akro was only in operation for 40 years (1911-1951), their pieces are seen as highly desirable. Pieces came in solid colors as well, like cobalt, cerulean blue, and white. Not only did Akro produce dinnerware and glass accessories for the table, they were well known for their children’s tea sets and their striking marbles.

Today the tea sets c an sell for $200-$350, while the bigger lots of the marbles can sell for hundreds or thousandsof dollars. Candy dishes, ashtrays and other items of Akro can also sell for hundreds of dollars each as well.
