McKee Molded In Crackle Crystal Footed Mayo and Liner During the depression people didn't have ice for cold drinks in the summer as freezers were rare. Many used ice for keeping food as refrigerators were uncommon and small. Companies like McKee and L. E. Smith made glass with a molded-in crackle to simulate the look of ice. The crckle effect is made by raised lines on the underside/outside of these pieces. This is the footed mayo set with footed comport and liner plate. This is attributed to McKee instead of LE Smith because the plate has a different shape than shown in pictures of LE Smith By Cracky pattern.

Footed mayo is shaped like a comport and is 3 3/4 inches tall and just under 5 inches across at the rim. Plate is 7 1/4 inches across. Both pieces are in like-new condition, free of chips, cracks or wear.

McKee Molded Crackle Crystal Depression Glass Sherbert During the depression not everyone had refrigerators or could afford ice to keep summer drinks cool. Glass companies made items that had a molded-in crackle look that mimicked ice cubes. McKee was one of several companies with similar lines.

Up for your bidding pleasure is this crystal depression crackle look sherbert. The molding to simulate crackle is on the outside. Sherbert is about 2 7/8 inches tall and about 4 inches across. Sherbert is in mint condition. Mint here means there are no chips, no cracks and no scratches. Sherbert has the usual little manufacturing flaws which give depression glass its charm. Some of the little flaws are mold marks in the rim like little crevices.

This is vintage McKee and the interior base of the sugar is marked McK. Please see my other listings for the matching creamer.

Milk glass sometimes was called opal glass, and this piece demonstrates why that name was used. The outer edges of the motif are thin and have an opalescent tinge. This is not the dead white milk glass from the 1950-70s.

Sugar is large and heavy. It is a little over 3 inches tall and is about 4 inches outside diameter from side to side. When including the handles the sugar is about 6" across. Sugar is free of cracks.
