Topic: Lacy Glass Butter Dish Saint Louis or Baccarat ?

[mhgcgolfclub]

A Lacy glass butter dish with under dish , the quality makes me think most likely French either Saint Louis or Baccarat , quality looks and feels very good although the thickness of the glass of the butter dish varies between 5mm and 9mm, not sure of the age , under a UV light it does glow a soft green, weight a heavy 982gm

Thanks for any information on this butter dish

Thank you very much for the link, quite a bit older than I first thought, can I ask what technique was made to make these early items were they blown into a mould which is why the quality appears to be a lot better than just pressed.

I found one of the other items on the link on plate 26 or 27 I new it was either missing a lid or base and from the pictures I assume it must have bee broke many many years ago and been polished .

The plate only came from a car boot but the quality does not look or feel good enough to be Baccarat



Thanks again Roy

Found a picture of the same plate in Raymond Notley Pressed Flint Glass where its is described as a lacy shallow cup plate, American about 1840, so may well be Sandwich Glass

Roy, why do you think of mould blown? Is the 'negative' pattern in the inside of the pot touchable? If smooth, must be plunger pressed same as the plate ?
Sablée like this: never seen blown in such accuracy  :huh:

Sandwich: interesting - thanks for the information
Have you also counted there the base pattern of 7 x 5 ?

Pamela your right just pressed, I think there technique must have been far superior to other pressed glass manufacturers of the same age, I have had other examples of American lacy salts and they were not of high quality.
Also I found a similar item of American lacy glass to the Baccarat describing it as a Honey Dish
