Featured is a wonderful EAPG Relish Dish.
- EAPG stands for Early American Pattern Glass which dates from 1850 until 1914.
- EAPG is clear or colored pressed glass made in tableware or glassware matched sets.
- Vintage elegant glass, also called “good glass,” is often hand-pressed, hand-molded, or hand-blown, and frequently features hand-finished bases.
- Elegant glass is made of high-quality glass, has fewer visible seams, and lacks the little
- bubbles and wrinkles found in pieces of Depression glass.
- Extra steps made the difference. For example, after a piece was shaped, it was inserted back into a “glory hole” for fire polishing, which gave it a high gloss.
- Most elegant glass was crystal, but some of it was pastel colored and translucent.
- Pattern: American Fostoria pattern number 2056
- Color: This is a EAPG relish dish in the American pattern. It is stunning fire-polished crystal glass.
- Design: rows of three-dimensional boxes with a saw-toothed edge
