Description: | Butter dish and cover of 'jet' pressed-glass by Davidson, the dish is circular and in the first instance is formed like a plate with foot-rim, well and rim but straight sides rise from the well, forming a flange which is the butter receptacle proper, the cover is domed with a finial, the dish is moulded with a star beneath as is the cover immediately under the finial, the flange is rib-moulded, the predominant decoration is of palmettes and a curious twig pattern, this is found on the rim of the dish and the whole of the cover, giving a scalloped edge to both. The finial is formed from a three-dimensional version of the 'twig' design with two intertwining 'twigs'. Unmarked, c1880.
