decorative dish

Small glass dish molded in the shape of a bird, made of translucent blue glass. The bird is perched upright with wings slightly extended, tail raised, and an open cavity at the center of its back, possibly for holding small items such as candy, trinkets, or matches. The surface is textured to suggest feathers, and the glass captures light vividly, creating a bright aqua hue.

This object was used as a candle holder or to put juewelry in.
