Gallery Label
The lacy pattern of this plate is similar to that of early pressed glass (ca. 1830-1850); however, the thinness and evenness of the glass, the smoothness of the surface, and the lack of any sign of wear suggest that it is a later example.
Due to ongoing research, information about this object is subject to change.
