Four Moon and Star Pattern Blue Pressed Glass Canisters
Sold for: $75
Description
A set of four graduating pressed glass canisters in a vivid turquoise blue color, featuring the Moon and Star pattern, which was originally known as Palace. The pattern is characterized by large circular embossed depressions with internal starburst motifs, surmounted by raised vertical arches. This set is attributed to the L.E. Smith Glass Company and is often referred to in literature as Colonial Blue. Three of the canisters include matching domed lids featuring smaller moon and star motifs and central knob handles. One canister is presented without a lid. The pieces are of heavy, pressed glass construction typical of American mid-century glassware. No maker marks, symbols, or signatures are visible on the bodies or bases of the items.
Condition report:
The glass is clear and bright. The set is incomplete as the second-largest canister is missing its lid. No large cracks or significant chips are visible in the provided images. Typical of pressed glass of this era, minor manufacturing irregularities such as cooling lines or small air bubbles may be present.
