DescriptionButter pat made of pressed colorless lead glass. The butter pat has a scalloped edge with points between each scallop, curved sides, and a circular foot. There is a pattern pressed on the underside of the glass, beginning with fourteen rays, or petals, radiating out from a triple circle on the bottom of the butter pat. Two double rings of lines circle the side of the butter pat: one in the center of the side; and one where the side meets the rim. There are many minor chips and nicks to the edge of the rim.
