Sauce Dish 1885 - 1888

This "Sauce Dish" is a piece of pressed glass made by the Richards and Hartley Flint Glass Co. in the late 19th century. The dish is a vibrant yellow, a popular color in glassmaking during the Victorian era. It is adorned with a distinctive pattern of raised, rounded "dots" around the bowl, adding a touch of texture and visual interest. This example is a charming demonstration of the glassmaking techniques and aesthetic preferences of its time and can be found in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
