Figure Dish 1880 - 1890

This "Figure Dish" is a white, opaque glass piece made by the McKee and Brothers company between 1880 and 1890. It depicts an elephant standing in a basket-shaped dish. This piece is a fine example of Victorian-era glasswork, and the meticulous detail on the elephant and the basket-shaped base are characteristic of McKee and Brothers’ work. The dish is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, showcasing the company's significant contribution to the history of American glassmaking.
