The Crinkle pattern was produced by Morgantown glass company in the late 1930's and into the 1970's. This is the 7.5 inch plate in topaz. It is the older style plate that used the original 1930 El Mexicano mold upon which this pattern is based.
These vintage glass plates by Morgantown in the Crinkle pattern has evolved since the early 1930's, originally called El Mexicano. The pattern variation name ‘Crinkle' was produced in 1962 through the 1970's.
The pattern was originally designed to look like the primitive plates found at an Inca archaeology dig. According to Morgantown Glass, the Spaniards taught the Incas the secrets of glass, but they had order only crude materials and tools which produced “rough hewn glass objects”. Advertised as “An Ancient Technique Revived!” Called by numerous names, Del Rey, El Mexicano, Ockner, El Rancho and Crinkle glass.
The vintage glass plates are made of heavy double layered glass. The two layers are sandwiched together, the seam can be seen near the rims.
Each set includes 4, 7.5" plates. They are heavy at almost a pound each. They would make the perfect dessert or salad plate set in almost any decor. In excellent vintage condition.
