Description

This green pressed glass handled cake plate is crafted in the Tendril pattern, which is attributed to the U.S. Glass Company. Produced during the Depression era, the circular plate features two integrated tab handles. The decorative program consists of a central stylized flower with narrow petals radiating from a stippled center, surrounded by an inner ring of embossed rays. The outer rim and the tab handles are embellished with a trailing vine and floral design. The glass exhibits a strong neon green fluorescence under ultraviolet light, confirming the presence of uranium in the melt.

Estimated Diameter: 10.5 inches.
