DescriptionPair of pressed colorless lead glass dishes, each with a round rim, tapered sides, and a flat bottom. The pattern is pressed into the underside of each dish. The pattern consists of several concentric bands of decoration. A circle in the center of the dish is surrounded by a hexagon, and then a band of triangles and diamonds, creating a star pattern. This is surrounded by a band consisting of four radiating lines alternating with an impressed circle. Around this, on the sides of each dish, is a band that alternates between an impressed circle and twelve raised rectangles. The bottom edges of each dish have a ring of scratches and light wear.
