Help with ID of small pin dish, please.
« on: April 06, 2014, 08:37:22 PM »
This small pin dish has what appears to be latticino twists incorporated into the base. Is this a Murano dish or am I way off the mark? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Ronnie

This might be Scottish!

Dishes with twist canes were (and still are, I guess) made in Scotland. Some were probably intended to be dishes and others were created when a paperweight went wrong but rather than being thrown away was flattened and turned into a dish.
