In the 1930's, General Mills Food Corporation hired Hazel Atlas Glass Company to produce a cobalt blue line of Shirley Temple items. Just as production had reached full swing, General Mills cancelled the order, leaving Hazel Atlas holding huge tanks of blue glass. Cobalt Royal Lace was born out of this excess, but Hazel Atlas also produced Moderntone and Newport from the same vats of Ritz Blue glass. In fact, the Moderntone dinner plate was used as part of the Shirley Temple line. (I guess you could say we have General Mills to thank for three beautiful patterns – as well as Cheerios.)

Moderntone was produced from 1934 to 1942. The earliest production was probably crystal as we know that Hazel Atlas didn't produce Ritz blue (cobalt) much earlier than 1936. There are a few pieces that turn up in pink or green transparent, mainly tumblers and ashtrays. Actually, there is no true Moderntone tumbler with the 'wedding ring' design, though there are two different style tumblers that were marketed along with Moderntone that collectors today accept as part of the set. (Remember, Hazel Atlas was known as the "World's Largest Tumbler Factory" in 1928.)
