Figure Dish 1880 - 1890

This "Figure Dish" is a white milk glass rooster in a nest, produced by McKee and Brothers between 1880 and 1890. The dish, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is an example of American pressed glass production, which used molds to create mass-produced glassware. The intricate detail of the rooster's feathers and the woven nest texture make the dish a charming example of this popular style of glassware. American pressed glass was widely popular in the late 19th century, and the "Figure Dish" is a testament to the skill and artistry of McKee and Brothers.
