Some pieces instantly bring back the feeling of an earlier home — lace curtains, polished furniture, and a special dish set out when company was expected.
This antique ruby flash fan dish dates to the early 1900s, when American glassmakers created beautifully patterned pressed glass designed to add a touch of elegance to everyday homes. Clear glass was pressed into intricate starburst patterns and then finished with a delicate layer of ruby red flashing, giving families the look of fine ruby glass without the high cost. Over time, gentle use has softened portions of the red flashing, revealing the clear glass beneath. Rather than detracting, this honest wear tells the story of a piece that has been enjoyed for generations and confirms its age and authenticity. The graceful fan shape and detailed pattern catch the light beautifully, making this dish perfect for display, candies, wrapped sweets, or simply as a decorative accent on a table or sideboard.
A lovely example of early American pressed glass that still brings warmth and color to a home more than a century later.
