Description
CD-4 COVERED LYRE PRESSED SALT, opaque soft violet blue/lavender purple with subtle mottling, slightly translucent under strong 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, 2" x 3 1/8", base 1 7/8" H.
Base remarkably undamaged, cover with some light scattered chipping/flaking to underside and interior, only one of which slightly affects the profile. Best possible condition.
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 - Corning, p. 177, fig. 664 and color pl. nine. The McKearins - American Glass, pl. 164, fig. 5, correct description with fig. 1. Like Elsholz, lot 149, cover is illustrated on lot 155.
Provenance: From the estate collection of Wagner P. Thielens, NYC.
George Abraham & Gilbert May, Granville, MA, 11-1-71.
Exhibited: Sandwich Glass Museum - "Sensational Sandwich," 1995.
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 example illustrated in Barlow/Kaiser is from the Bennington Museum. 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. 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 The salt offered here is previously unpublished and represents the best condition of all recorded.
Condition
