Current State speaks with members of the Michigan Depression Glass Society on the eve of their annual show in Dearborn. It’s one of the oldest and largest glass showcases in the U.S.

Thanksgiving will be upon us sooner than we think, and you may well be using some old family pieces of Pyrex to cook the green beans, but some of those pieces of Pyrex may be collectables. 2015 marks the 100th anniversary of Pyrex and this weekend in Dearborn, one of the oldest glass shows in the US will be celebrating Pyrex.

Current State’s Jamie Paisley took a tour with the president of the group putting on this glass show, the Michigan Depression Glass Society.
