DescriptionPressed colorless lead glass dish with a plain rim, and sides that curve down to a flat bottom. A pattern is pressed onto the bottom surface of the dish. The pattern begins in the center with a fourteen-pointed star inside a circle. The sides of the dish are separated into four quadrants by four pointed ovals created by numerous arching lines. Some areas created by the arching lines contain cross hatching. Others are decorated with a geometric star pattern. Each of the four quadrants has an eleven-pointed star in the center, just below the rim. A small area of red paint has adhered to the underside of the rim.
