DescriptionPair of pressed lacy-pattern colorless lead glass saucers. Each has a scalloped edge, ogee-shaped sides, and a round foot. The top surface of each saucer is smooth; the pattern has been pressed onto the bottom surface. The pattern begins in the center with a small flower. This is surrounded by a border of eight leaves, all on a stippled background. A border of stylized, scrolled leaves and flowers decorates the sides.
Each saucer has several small chips to the edge. There is an unknown substance, possibly the remnant of a paper label, adhered to the top of each saucer, near the edge. Several flecks of a black substance are embedded in the glass of saucers .2 and .4.
Saucers .2 and .4 deaccessioned in 2006.
