"Log Cabin" pattern covered candy dish c. 1875

This "Log Cabin" pattern covered candy dish, designed by the Central Glass Company circa 1875, is a charming example of pressed glass. The clear glass is molded into the shape of a log cabin with a peaked roof, and is adorned with intricate details of logs and windows. It is an excellent example of American decorative arts during the Victorian period and is part of a collection of glasswares from the Central Glass Company that can be seen at the Art Institute of Chicago.
