BB-2 BIRD BATH AND CORNUCOPIA PRESSED SALT, colorless, larger size with scallop-and-point rim and sunburst base. Probably New England Glass Co. 1835-1850. 2" H, 2 3/8" x 3 7/8".
Literature: Neal, Pressed Glass Salt Dishes of the Lacy Period, p. 18. Spillman, American and European Pressed Glass in The Corning Museum of Glass, p. 171, fig. 632.
Catalogue Note: This is only the second example of this salt that we have sold, suggesting it is likely extremely rare. In addition, it was not represented in the Elsholz collection.
Excellent condition, shallow chip and flake to outer edge of rim, small chip/mold roughness to edge of one foot, otherwise only some expected mold roughness to rim and vertical corners.
