Lot 364:
A Trio of American Mid-Century Glassware Including a Refrigerator Dish, Footed Bonbon, and Decorative Hand Bell
Sold for: $20
Description
This collection consists of three pieces of American pressed glass dating from the mid-20th century. The first item is an amber glass rectangular refrigerator storage dish with vertical ribbing on the sides. It is accompanied by a clear glass lid featuring three molded panels depicting stalks of asparagus, a centered head of lettuce or cabbage, and an ear of corn; this specific vegetable lid design is attributed to the Federal Glass Company. The second item is a canary yellow footed bonbon or nut dish featuring a ruffled rim and a needle-etched pattern of floral sprays and scrolling foliage on the interior. The dish rests on three stylized feet shaped like flower petals, a style associated with Indiana Glass. The third item is an amber glass hand bell with a vertically ribbed body and a multi-faceted handle. One side of the bell is decorated with a hand-painted floral spray, where the yellow flower heads feature a raised, textured crushed-glass finish for a three-dimensional effect. No maker marks are visible on any of the pieces.
Condition report:
All items appear to be in good vintage condition. There are no visible chips, cracks, or significant surface scratches. The hand-painted decoration on the bell remains intact with no apparent loss or fading.
