Covered Butter Dish 1885 - 1888

This "Covered Butter Dish" is a beautiful example of American glassmaking from the late 19th century, created by the Richards and Hartley Flint Glass Co. The clear glass is adorned with a pattern of raised, circular bumps, giving the dish a unique texture and visual interest. The piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the craftsmanship and artistry that defined this era of glass production in America.
