Circa: 1925-1935
Manufacturer: unknown
This Art Deco piece of glass was called a sandwich server in the period catalogues. It was meant to be used by a hostess as she served tea sandwiches to her guests. Later, post WW II, these were used to serve cookies and candies, cupcakes even. I still remember the one on my Aunt Anna's table ready for the nephews and nieces to visit.
It measures a little over 10 inches in diameter. The handle is slightly different from the ones I found pictures in the Lancaster Glass Company book, but the decoration is very similar. I therefore can surmise that this was a competitor's version. The orange and black color are because the back of the clear glass plate was painted in cold paint. The gold highlights on the rim band were painted on the top of the glass, creating a three dimensional effect. It is in excellent vintage condition.
This piece of American glass is as useful today as it was when it was made in the Art Deco time period. I would hand wash it but it is sturdy and ready for your home and/or collection. |
