Overview
A classic piece of American pressed glass featuring fifteen individual wells and a distinctive stippled or 'beaded' texture.
Story
Post-World War II America saw a massive boom in suburban social life, where the deviled egg became the undisputed king of the potluck and cocktail party.
Maker / Origin
The Indiana Glass Company, founded in 1907, became a powerhouse of American table culture by producing affordable, durable, and stylish glassware for the masses.
Condition & Value
The glass appears clear with no significant clouding or 'sick glass' from dishwasher use. The scalloped edges are prone to small chips, but this example looks well-preserved in the photo. Excellent condition is vital for these common pieces.
