DescriptionPair of small, pressed colorless lead glass plates, each with a slightly raised edge, shallow curved sides, and a flat bottom. A pattern, known as the "Bigler" pattern, is pressed into the bottom of each plate. The pattern consists of a radiating, octagonal star in the center. This is surrounded by alternating arched flutes and straight lines, found on the sides of each plate. There are a few scratches and some light wear on the bottom of each plate.
