Cambridge Etch 275 Sandwich Tray

(1/2) > >>

NevB:
This is the oval version approx. 12" x 10". Dates probably from the 1930's but possibly very late 20's.

Ekimp:
Hi, is it acid etched? The textured background looks similar to that on flying free’s bowl (not saying they are linked other than possibly the method of etching) http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,71075.0.html

A closer photo of the etching would be interesting for comparison if possible, thanks.

Ekimp:
The etching is plate acid etching, pattern E725: https://albums.mvsg.org/thumbnails.php?album=search&search=pe725

Good description of the plate etching process from a Cambridge Glass Company brochure: http://cambridgeglass.org/articles/etchingarticle.php The ‘special type of transfer paper’ was imported from England.

NevB:
Thanks for that Ekimp, I was just going to research how it was done, it's a pretty complex process. I've found this pattern was known as "Florentine" dated only as "depression era".

Ekimp:
Hope I didn’t spoil your fun  :) I wonder what happened to all the radioactive sludge in the acid tank!
