The iridescent surface is stunning with gold, red, blue, and purple highlights on an amber orange base. The piece is a beautiful example of this highly collectible turn of the last century glass-making technique.

The scalloped shape refracts light beautifully highlighting the colors and iridescence characteristic of the genre. The dish is 7” long by 6” wide and 1” high. The bottom side is ribbed, the top smooth, with raised fruit designs on the base handle (pear, grapes, apple or cherry). Beautiful on display as a single or a pair yet practical for use as a showy candy or soap dish.

There are two of these beauties available. Both are in excellent shape. The imperfections are intentional and typical of the period and manufacturing process. They are a perfect complement to the pitcher and goblet offered separately. less
