Product Details

Cambridge Glass Company, founded in 1873 in Cambridge, Ohio, was a prominent American glass manufacturer known for its high-quality pressed and blown glassware. They produced a wide array of decorative items, including animal figures, bowls, and tableware, often in vibrant colors and elegant designs. The company experienced several periods of operation and closure throughout the 20th century, with its most prolific and collectible output occurring from the 1920s through the 1950s. This particular swan-shaped dish, often referred to as the "Ebony" color, is a popular collectible. The deep black, opaque glass mimics the look of obsidian or jet, giving it a sophisticated and dramatic appearance. The detailed molding, especially the feather texture on the wings and body, showcases the craftsmanship of the era. These swan dishes were often used as decorative centerpieces, candy dishes, or small planters.
