The Federal Glass Company was founded in 1900, in Columbus Ohio. The company began operations making salt and pepper shakers, goblets, measuring cups, and jars for processed foods.  By the 1920's they had expanded and were making tableware, with patterns which we now call, "Depression Glass" such as:  Madrid, Colonial, Normandie, Mayfair, Raindrops, Parrot, Diana, etc.  Federal went bankrupt in 1977 - 1978, and closed down in 1980. When Federal Glass went out of business, Lancaster Colony, (the parent company to Indiana Glass), purchased their molds and Indiana Glass re-issued some of their patterns in the late 1960's through 1970's.
