Moon and Star Pattern Pressed Glass Platter

Story

The story of this pattern begins in 1888 when it was first introduced by Adams & Company under the name 'Palace,' though collectors quickly renamed it for its celestial appearance.

Maker / Origin

While the design is 19th-century, the L.E. Smith Glass Company is largely responsible for keeping it alive, producing these pieces from the 1940s until the factory's closure.

Condition & Value

The glass appears bright and clear with no obvious clouding (sickness) from dishwasher use. The scalloped edges are the most vulnerable part of this design; any small nicks or 'flea bites' there would slightly reduce the value. Condition is consistent with a well-cared-for cabinet piece.
