Description
This striking milk glass covered dish in the form of the U.S. Battleship Maine, dating to circa 1898, is a remarkable piece of commemorative glassware reflecting a pivotal moment in American history. Molded in opaque white glass with finely detailed architectural elements, the piece features twin smokestacks, deck structures, lifeboat forms, and raised embellishments along the hull, capturing the silhouette of the famed naval vessel. Produced during the era surrounding the Spanish American War and the rallying cry Remember the Maine, such novelty pieces served as patriotic tributes and historical keepsakes. Both decorative and symbolic, this covered dish stands as a distinctive example of late nineteenth century pressed glass craftsmanship and maritime memorabilia.
