Host with a touch of 1930s grace. This authentic Green Depression Glass Grill Plate in the iconic ‘Cameo’ pattern (lovingly known as ‘Ballerina’ or ‘Dancing Girl’) is more than just a dish—it’s a piece of resilient American history. Manufactured by the Hocking Glass Company between 1930 and 1934, this plate features the delicate silhouette of a dancing figure framed by ornate scrolling and floral swags.
 
The divided "grill" style was the height of practical elegance during the Depression era, designed to keep flavors separate while making any meal feel like a special occasion. Today, it’s the ultimate sustainable alternative to disposable party plates, bringing heirloom charm to your next garden brunch, bridal shower, or dinner party.
