Title:Cobalt Blue Depression Glass Cabin Candy Dish Box

Description:Lutted’s S.P. Cough Drops Log Cabin Dish – Cobalt Blue Pressed Glass (Pattern No. 78)

This likely reproduction cobalt blue pressed glass log cabin dish reproduces one of the most distinctive advertising forms of the Victorian era. The original design, known as Pattern #78, was introduced in 1875 by the Central Glass Company of Wheeling, West Virginia and produced as an advertising piece for Lutted’s S.P. Cough Drops, a well-known 19th-century patent medicine.

Log cabin–form containers like this were used as countertop display jars, capitalizing on America’s fascination with frontier imagery while promoting so-called “quack medicine” remedies. The bold architectural molding and deep cobalt color made these pieces visually striking and memorable to customers.

This example reflects that historic design and measures approximately 9 inches long by 7 inches tall, consistent with known originals. Pieces in this pattern are highly collectible due to their association with Victorian advertising, early American pressed glass, and patent medicine history.

Note: Log cabin dishes of this type are known in both antique and later reproduction forms. This piece is offered as a collectible example of the Lutted’s Cough Drops log cabin design, with buyers encouraged to make their own assessment regarding age and originality.

A standout display piece for collectors of antique advertising, pressed glass, patent medicine memorabilia, or Americana-inspired décor.
