    That would be considered Carnival Glass,  Made most popular by Fenton.  It may be from the depression era, but most likely not considered Depression wear.  True Depression wear was Give away promotion glass during the late 20's and into the early 40's.  There is only 92 patterns considered as true depression wear.  Even though many call them Depression.  Carinval glass was made during those years but was not part of the Depression wear line.  Would love to see the pattern and could maybe ID it for you.
