This is a stunningly beautiful EAPG (Early American Pressed Glass) covered butter/cheese dish with a dome shaped lid. This is definitely an antique/victorian item. It is in a wonderful condition for its age. There is some wear to the gold and a little roughness to the scalloped edge of the plate, which is not easily detectable. Except that buy - what a gorgeous piece of early Americana!
It was most possibly produced in the last decade of the 19 C or in the very beginning of the 20 C. It has amazing details, like interesting angles where the lid meets the gold band. The glass has a slightest pinkish tint. An amazing gift for collector or for somebody who loves and appreciates all things old and beautiful.
The "dome" is 5" high to the top of the finial, and it's 5.2 " across. The dish is almost 8" across. The whole thing is about 6" tall.
