Miniature Plates

2000?  FS pressed glass dish.  5” in diameter.  Source unknown.

This is a lovely little piece showing the stork’s revenge.  I wondered what category it might belong to – small plate, ringdish, children’s set?  I get two strong opinions on the web.  Marcike Michl, SG, in a September 2010 listing describes it as a “Kleiner Teller” and guesses a date of about 1900.  The best guess of the unknown producer is someone in France or Germany.  Google describes it as a “vintage Westmoreland Glass Cup Plate. These small, pressed glass plates were produced by the Westmoreland Glass Company of Grapeville, Pennsylvania, which operated from 1890 to 1984.
