Roulette has two rows of vertical little rectangles near the rim, meant to look like a roulette wheel. Hocking Glass made Roulette during the latter half of the depression, 1935-38. It doesn’t seem to have been a huge success as a pattern given that we so rarely see pieces. Hocking made it in green, pink and crystal.
Apparently Hocking marketed Roulette mostly as a beverage set or as a come-on for retailers. I saw pieces only once, in an antique store in Lansing, Michigan and that set included cups and saucers, sherbets, lunch plates and the 11 inch serving plate.
I don’t recall seeing it at any glass shows and haven’t seen the tumblers, pitcher or serving bowl.
The green color has a definite yellow tint as the pictures suggest.
The glass has looks sturdy, thick, but in fact is about the same thickness as any of Hocking’s other depression patterns. Instead of the pressed star design that Hocking used in many other patterns, such as Miss America, Roulette has a wheel motif in the center, a small center wheel and a larger outer wheel.
Here is the Roulette sherbet.
I checked on eBay this morning (late April 2023) and found green cups, saucers, plates, sherbets, a pitcher and a serving bowl but no tumblers. There were a few pink tumblers and a pink pitcher, no plates or other pieces.
Even though Roulette is not abundant it is not very expensive because it’s not as popular as many other depression glass patterns and popularity is a big determinant of cost. If you enjoy green depression glass and would like a reasonable luncheon pattern then consider Roulette.
