Rare American Black Glass “George Washington” Plaque
c. 1840 Pressed Black Glass Plaque. Ornate Decorative Portrait of George Washington. Choice Near Mint.
An outstanding 3.5” x 4.5”, nearly .5” thick solid black glass decorative plaque with a central high-relief bust of George Washington facing right, within a thick rectangular outer wreath border design. The back has four flat pedestals built into the mold, indicating to us that this was meant to lay flat on a table. In virtually perfect original condition for a piece of glass this large and of this age. An exceedingly rare piece of collectable Washingtonia.
