Covered Dish 1835 - 1840

This clear glass "Covered Dish" was created by the Boston and Sandwich Glass Company between 1835 and 1840. The dish has an ornate design with a decorative handle and intricate floral motifs. It is currently located at the Art Institute of Chicago. The piece is a fine example of the American pressed glass movement, which flourished during the 19th century. This type of glass, often referred to as "pattern glass," was produced in large quantities using molds to create intricate patterns.
