CD-4 COVERED LYRE PRESSED SALT, opaque violet blue/lavender purple with strong mottling, slightly translucent under transmitted light, raised on four scrolled feet, cover with pine cone finial and beads on rim interior arranged 10 x 20 x 10 x 20. Recorded by Neal as unique. Boston & Sandwich Glass Co. 1830-1845. 3" HOA, 1 7/8" H base, 2" x 3 1/8".
Literature: Neal - Pressed Glass Salt Dishes of the Lacy Period, p. 43; Barlow/Kaiser - The Glass Industry in Sandwich, Vol. 1, p. 282, fig. 1451a; Spillman - American and European Pressed Glass in the Corning Museum of Glass, p. 177, fig. 664 and color pl. nine; The McKearins - American Glass, pl. 164, fig. 5, correct description with fig. 1. Like Bourne - The William J. Elsholz Collection, Vol. I, pp. 32-33, lot 149 (base) and 155 (cover).
Catalogue Note: This extremely rare and important salt is one of only seven recorded in this color. The example from the Elsholz collection was exhibited at the CMOG in 1954 and the HFM in 1960; formerly in the collection of Mrs. Harry S. High, it was purchased at the Elsholz auction by Gary Stradling. The example at Corning and illustrated by Spillman is from the Louise S. Esterly collection and is the same specimen illustrated by McKearin. The Metropolitan Museum of Art was gifted the Dr. Charles W. Green example in 1951 by his widow. An example with a reattached leg surfaced in 2005 from the Esther Ludwig collection sold through Freeman's in Philadelphia (this is that example). The example sold through these galleries in 2017 and 2006 from the collection of Paul Harvey of Naples, FL, was ex-collection of Robert F. DeLong and A. G. White. The latest example to come to market was sold through these galleries on June 15, 2023, lot 417, from a group of glass deaccessioned by the Bennington Museum, Bennington, VT.

Condition

Cover excellent with minor shallow flaking to lower rim; base visually perfect but having had one foot infamously broken off and professionally reattached, also having some very minor mold roughness and flaking to inner edges of a couple feet and to rim, in one instance due to a fin.

Provenance

From the collection of Diana and J. Garrison Stradling, New York, NY.
Freeman's Auctions, 11/22/2005, lot 21497.
Ex-collection of Esther H. Ludwig, Berks County, PA.
