Physical DescriptionApplique with Horse and Rider. Translucent light yellowish green glass; stamped. Oval, with raised border and, in relief, horse with rider, walking to right; details not clear, but rider seems to have disproportionately large head and vestigial body. Stamp was struck off-center, so that raised border exists on right side only. Wall has bulb on interior.
