Pairpoint Cup Plate - Liberty

Statue of Liberty Imprinted on a 3.5" Green Lead Crystal Plate. The Musical Crystal ring and prism effects are gorgeous. For Decorative and Collection purposes only. Cup plates are small plates that held a cup while a diner of the mid-nineteenth century drank coffee or tea from the saucer. The most famous ones were made of glass at the Pairpoint factory in Sandwich, MA.. Cup plates were made of blown glass, but later of pressed glass. This plate is pressed and from Pairpoint. Pairpoint was founded in 1837 and the oldest operating glass company today and as popular as it was at the turn of the century. Retailers including Tiffany & Co., and Shreve, Crump & Lowe, have featured Pairpoint glass and crystal. Pieces remain a favorite of collectors and auction companies. Designs can be found in museums across the country including N.Y. Museum of Art, and Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. You can own yours TODAY! I have many different ones in variety of colors and designs. More post to come.
