VINTAGE MILK GLASS WESTMORELAND COVERED CANDY DISH – OLD QUILT PATTERN

Description

Westmoreland Milk Glass Old Quilt Pattern Covered Candy Dish
Westmoreland made glassware from 1889-1984.
It is engraved with "WG" on the bottom; it means that the product was produced by Westmoreland in America.
Westmoreland used primarily two marks on their products. The first mark was a "W" from the period of 1910 through the mid-1940s. The second mark, which is more commonly known by collectors and dealers, is the intertwined W and G that Westmoreland began to use in 1946 on most of the glassware.  In 1981, David Grossman bought the factory from the Brainard family and changed the mark. The new mark was the word Westmoreland in a circle around three lines.  He went bankrupt in 1984.
Westmoreland lidded candy dish is rich in old quilt pattern detail and would be a Lovely addition to any milk glass collection. It is in excellent condition and is free of cracks, hairlines, chips and flaws.
