DescriptionPair of pressed colorless lead glass dishes, each with a round edge and sides that curve down to a shallow, round foot. There is a row of large, raised half-circles around the edge of each dish; the remainder of the pressed decoration is on the bottom surface of each dish. The pressed decoration begins in the center with a twelve-pointed star, surrounded by an impressed diamond diaper pattern at the edges of the bottom and lower sides. There is a narrow area of plain glass around the central star and around the diamond diaper pattern.
All of the dishes have slight chips and nicks to the raised half-circles at the edge. Each also has short, light scratches on the round foot on the bottom of the dish. Dish .1 is not completely round, and has two larger chips in the edge.
