Story
The Ohio River Valley was once the glass-making heart of the world, where artisans turned molten sand into affordable luxury for the American middle class.
Maker / Origin
While several American firms produced swan dishes, Westmoreland and L.E. Smith were the masters of the 'animal on nest' form.
Condition & Value
The piece appears to be in excellent vintage condition. The beak and neck, which are the most common points of breakage, look intact. Value is driven by the popularity of the pink satin color and the condition of the swan's beak and neck.
