DescriptionRound, pressed colorless glass dish with an undulating, flared edge, S-curved sides, and a flat bottom. The top surface of the dish is smooth; the underside is pressed with a pattern in the Neo-Grec style. In the center, a pattern of raised squares is surrounded on the bottom and sides by large, stylized acanthus leaves, highlighted with ribs. Five bands form a fan between each acanthus leaf. There are about a dozen small and medium-sized chips in the rim, and one crack that extends from the rim to about half way down the side. There are some light scratches and some wear to the raised portions of the pattern on the underside of the dish.
