Figure Dish 1880 - 1890

This white milk glass dish, known as a "Figure Dish", was created by the McKee and Brothers company between 1880 and 1890. The dish features a stylized turkey design and is a quintessential example of 19th-century American glassmaking. The form of the dish, with its ruffled edge and the raised figure of a turkey, reflects the popularity of Victorian decorative objects. This particular piece is a testament to McKee and Brothers' expertise in glassblowing and their ability to create charming and functional objects for the home. The dish is currently part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
