SANDWICH ONION / EATON MATCH TRAY, translucent soft blue with a slight lavender tint, rectangular form with a ribbed gallery, deep concave well, striker sides and a ribbed base. Boston & Sandwich Glass Co. 1860-1880. 1 1/2" h, 3 1/2" x 5" base.
Reference: Parallels B & K V, fig. 5174.
Note: This tray is an exact color match to the Onion lamp, lot #187A, in session #1 of this auction. Barlow & Kaiser noted in their volume five, "We have yet to see a match holder and a lamp that are an exact color match." Together, this tray and lamp represent an extremely rare and possibly unique assemblage.

Very good condition with two shallow chips and several flakes to rim scallops, base with flakes and roughness to a moderate fin at one end
