Butter Dish 1885 - 1888

"Butter Dish" was crafted by the Richards and Hartley Flint Glass Co. between 1885 and 1888 and is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. This clear glass dish features a domed lid with a decorative knob and a footed base, all covered in an intricate pattern of raised circular bumps. The dish's simple yet elegant design exemplifies the American glassmaking tradition of the late 19th century, showcasing the skilled artistry of the Flint Glass Company during this period.
