Cup plate 1830 - 1835

This cobalt blue glass cup plate, made in the United States between 1830 and 1835, is a beautiful example of early American pressed glass. The plate features a central starburst pattern surrounded by a ring of leaves and a beaded edge. The deep blue color and intricate design are typical of this period, and the small size suggests that it was likely used for serving individual portions of food or drink. This plate is now part of the collection at the Art Institute of Chicago.
